1210CC563KAT1A

The 1210CC563KAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the leading suppliers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 1210 package family, which refers to the physical dimensions of the component (approximately 3.2mm x 2.6mm), making it a surface-mount device suitable for automated assembly on printed circuit boards. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, used to store electrical energy and filter signals across countless applications. The 1210 package size represents a common mid-range footprint that balances capacitance capability with board space constraints, making it widely adopted in industrial, automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics designs. The "CC" designation in this part number indicates this is a ceramic capacitor with specific performance characteristics optimized for general-purpose applications. AVX's ceramic capacitor lines are engineered to meet stringent reliability standards required in industrial environments, where components must withstand temperature cycling, vibration, and demanding operating conditions. Engineers typically specify capacitors from the 1210 package family when they need a balance between capacitance value and PCB real estate. This package offers significantly more capacitance than smaller 0805 or 0603 packages while remaining considerably smaller and more cost-effective than larger packages like 1812 or 1825. The 1210 format is particularly common in power supply circuits, signal coupling and decoupling applications, filtering stages, and timing circuits where moderate capacitance values are required. AVX capacitors in this series are designed for applications requiring stable performance across temperature variations and operating lifespans. The multilayer construction provides high volumetric efficiency, allowing manufacturers to achieve desired capacitance values in a compact form factor. These components are RoHS compliant and suitable for lead-free soldering processes, meeting modern manufacturing requirements. When selecting the 1210CC563KAT1A specifically, engineers benefit from AVX's manufacturing consistency and quality control. Choosing established manufacturer components like this ensures reliable performance in critical circuits and simplifies supply chain management compared to lesser-known alternatives. The standardized 1210 footprint also provides design flexibility, as the component can be sourced from multiple qualified suppliers if needed. This part is ideal for design engineers and procurement specialists seeking a dependable ceramic capacitor for mainstream industrial and commercial applications where performance, reliability, and standard package compatibility are priorities.
