12061A101FAT4A

The AVX 12061A101FAT4A is a surface-mount ceramic capacitor designed for demanding industrial and commercial applications. This component belongs to AVX's established family of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), which are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics due to their compact size, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. This particular part is housed in a 1206 package format, a standard SMD footprint that offers a practical balance between component density and handling ease for automated assembly processes. The 1206 package size makes it suitable for applications where space constraints are moderate but performance and thermal management remain important considerations. Engineers commonly specify capacitors in this package when designing power distribution networks, decoupling circuits, filtering stages, and signal conditioning networks across various industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and consumer electronics. Ceramic capacitors from AVX are known for their stable performance across operating temperature ranges and their ability to handle the demands of industrial environments. The 12061A101FAT4A designation indicates this is a standard-performance variant optimized for general-purpose applications rather than specialized high-voltage or high-temperature extreme scenarios. These capacitors are typically specified in applications requiring Class II dielectric behavior, which provides good capacitance density and reliability for non-critical filtering and coupling functions. An engineer might select this specific part number over alternatives when the application requires an established, proven component from a recognized manufacturer with consistent quality and long-term availability. AVX capacitors maintain strong supply chain presence and are widely used across industries, which simplifies procurement, reduces obsolescence risk, and ensures compatibility with existing design standards and manufacturing processes. The 1206 package itself offers advantages in terms of reworkability and inspection compared to smaller packages, while still supporting modern high-density PCB layouts. This component is commonly found in power management circuits, input/output filtering, noise suppression stages, and signal coupling applications throughout industrial automation, automotive electronics, renewable energy systems, and infrastructure equipment. The ceramic MLCC technology provides excellent frequency response characteristics and minimal parasitic effects, making it suitable for both DC bias applications and AC signal handling across audio and RF frequency ranges. Designers choosing the AVX 12061A101FAT4A benefit from the manufacturer's extensive qualification history, established design documentation, and demonstrated reliability across thousands of deployed systems worldwide. This history of proven performance in field applications makes it a reliable choice for engineers developing systems where component failure rates must be minimized and long-term operational stability is critical.
