12061A102JAT2A

The AVX 12061A102JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from AVX's established component lineup, designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications requiring compact, reliable energy storage and filtering. This component features a 1206 package format, which is one of the most widely used surface-mount footprints in modern electronics manufacturing. The 1206 package provides an excellent balance between handling ease, board space efficiency, and sufficient lead area for robust solder connections in both manual and automated assembly environments. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this unit are fundamental building blocks in contemporary circuit design. They serve critical functions including power supply filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, noise suppression, and transient voltage spike absorption across digital, analog, and mixed-signal applications. The compact form factor makes them particularly valuable in space-constrained designs where engineers must maximize circuit density without sacrificing performance or reliability. The "102J" designation in this part number typically indicates a capacitance value in the lower range common to ceramic capacitors, along with specific voltage and tolerance characteristics established by industry-standard naming conventions. This rating structure helps engineers quickly identify whether a given capacitor suits their application's voltage requirements and tolerance specifications without requiring constant datasheet consultation during preliminary design phases. AVX is recognized within the electronics industry for producing capacitors with consistent quality standards and reliable long-term performance characteristics. Their multilayer ceramic capacitors are engineered to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses inherent in industrial and consumer applications, making them suitable for deployment in automotive systems, telecommunications infrastructure, industrial control equipment, medical devices, and consumer electronics. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when their application requires the specific electrical characteristics encoded in its designation, combined with the proven reliability of AVX manufacturing and the standardization advantages of the 1206 package. The combination of package size, rated performance class, and manufacturer reputation makes this component a straightforward choice for designs requiring predictable, readily available components that streamline procurement and assembly processes. The 1206 format also benefits from widespread industry familiarity and extensive tooling support across contract manufacturers, reducing design-to-production transition complexity. For engineers working on applications where component availability, standardization, and proven field performance outweigh the need for specialized characteristics, this part represents a practical, established solution suitable for rapid prototyping and volume production alike.
