1210CC473KAT1A

# 1210CC473KAT1A Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor The 1210CC473KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a leading supplier of passive electronic components. This part is housed in a 1210 package, which is a standard surface-mount form factor widely used in modern electronics manufacturing. The 1210 package measures 12mm x 10mm, making it suitable for applications where moderate capacitance values are needed alongside reasonable board space efficiency. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are among the most widely deployed passive components in electronics, serving critical roles in power supply decoupling, signal filtering, energy storage, and noise suppression. The 1210 package specifically bridges the gap between smaller packages like 0805 and larger alternatives, offering engineers a practical choice when higher capacitance or voltage ratings are required without consuming excessive PCB real estate. Based on the part number designation, this capacitor belongs to AVX's general-purpose ceramic capacitor family, typically specified for standard industrial and commercial applications. Components in this series are commonly found in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, power management circuits, and general-purpose signal processing applications. Engineers typically specify the 1210CC473KAT1A when they need a reliable, cost-effective capacitor with solid performance characteristics and proven availability. The 1210 package format provides several practical advantages: it offers better thermal stability than smaller packages, delivers respectable capacitance values in a compact form factor, and maintains excellent compatibility with standard pick-and-place manufacturing processes. Ceramic capacitors from AVX's catalog are recognized for consistent quality and stable electrical performance across temperature ranges commonly encountered in industrial environments. The 1210 package is particularly valued in designs where engineers must balance multiple constraints—adequate capacitance value, acceptable voltage rating, cost considerations, and board layout efficiency. This part would typically be selected for decoupling power supply pins on integrated circuits, filtering high-frequency noise in signal paths, or providing localized energy storage in switching power supplies. The 1210 package makes it especially suitable for equipment where smaller packages cannot provide the required capacitance, or where larger packages would introduce unnecessary cost and space penalties.
