12063C824MAT2A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 12063C824MAT2A is a 0.82 µF ceramic capacitor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, rated for 25V with X7R temperature coefficient in 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package. This part is currently active in production and widely used in general purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C. Substitute parts are identified for applications requiring improved tolerance specifications, alternative manufacturer sourcing, or inventory optimization while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 12063C824MAT2A is determined by the following critical parameters: capacitance value (0.82 µF), voltage rating (25V), temperature coefficient (X7R), package type (1206), and mounting method (surface mount MLCC). All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differentiator among substitutes is tolerance specification, where the main part carries ±20% tolerance while substitute parts offer ±10% tolerance. Physical dimensions vary slightly in thickness across manufacturers while maintaining the same footprint. All parts comply with ROHS3 and carry MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility in standard assembly processes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs, 12063C824KAT2A (KYOCERA AVX) or C1206C824K3RAC7800 (KEMET) are preferred substitutes, both offering improved ±10% tolerance specification compared to the original ±20% tolerance. Both parts maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. The KEMET part features reduced thickness (0.053" vs 0.070"), which may provide advantages in space-constrained applications. GRM31MR71E824KA01L (Murata Electronics) is electrically equivalent but carries "Not For New Designs" status; this part is suitable only for legacy system maintenance or replacement applications where the original Murata part was specified. All three substitutes are mechanically compatible with the original 1206 footprint and require no PCB redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 12063C824KAT2A directly replace 12063C824MAT2A in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, share identical capacitance (0.82 µF), voltage rating (25V), temperature coefficient (X7R), and 1206 package footprint. The substitute offers superior ±10% tolerance versus the original ±20%, making it a direct upgrade with no circuit modifications required.

Q: What is the significance of tolerance differences between ±20% and ±10%?

A: Tolerance defines the allowable deviation from the nominal capacitance value. The ±20% specification permits capacitance between 0.656 µF and 0.984 µF, while ±10% constrains the range to 0.738 µF to 0.902 µF. Applications requiring tighter capacitance control benefit from ±10% parts.

Q: Are KEMET and Murata parts compatible with KYOCERA AVX footprints?

A: Yes. All three manufacturers produce 1206 (3216 Metric) packages with identical length and width dimensions (0.126" x 0.063"). Thickness varies slightly (KEMET 0.053", Murata 0.049", KYOCERA 0.070"), but all remain within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit.

Q: Why is GRM31MR71E824KA01L marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part is in mature or declining production phase. While electrically and mechanically equivalent, it is reserved for sustaining existing products or legacy system support. New designs should specify 12063C824KAT2A or C1206C824K3RAC7800.

Q: Do all substitute parts carry the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. All parts, including the original 12063C824MAT2A, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or assembly.
