12061A102FAT2A

The AVX 12061A102FAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from AVX's 1206 package family, designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications across industrial and commercial electronics. This surface-mount component represents the standard 1206 case size, making it widely compatible with modern PCB assembly processes and equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental building blocks in contemporary electronic design. They provide high capacitance density in a compact form factor, making them essential for power supply filtering near integrated circuits, noise suppression in signal paths, and bulk energy storage in switching applications. The 1206 package offers a practical balance between capacitance capability and board space efficiency, which is why it remains one of the most commonly specified ceramic capacitor sizes in industrial electronics. The AVX 1206 series capacitors are manufactured using multilayer ceramic construction, which enables reliable performance across a broad range of operating conditions typical in industrial equipment. These components are suitable for applications including consumer electronics, computing equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive systems, and industrial control boards. The 1206 case size accommodates various capacitance values and voltage ratings, allowing design flexibility while maintaining a consistent footprint. Engineers select this specific part number when they require a proven, readily available capacitor in the 1206 package with the particular electrical specifications this part provides. AVX is a well-established manufacturer of ceramic capacitors with extensive quality certifications and long-term availability, which makes their components preferred in applications where supply chain stability and consistent performance matter. The 1206 package itself has become an industry standard, supported by virtually all PCB fabrication and assembly vendors, reducing production complexity and cost. The ceramic construction provides excellent frequency response characteristics, low equivalent series inductance (ESL), and stable performance across temperature ranges typical in industrial environments. These properties make 1206 MLCCs particularly effective for high-frequency decoupling applications and noise filtering where alternative capacitor technologies may introduce unwanted resonances or parasitic effects. For engineers specifying components in new designs or selecting replacements for existing boards, the 12061A102FAT2A offers the combination of proven reliability, broad industry support, and the known performance characteristics of the AVX 1206 MLCC family. Its widespread use in established industrial and commercial products underscores its suitability for demanding applications requiring consistent, predictable capacitor performance.
