12061A122JAT2A

The AVX 12061A122JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from AVX's established component portfolio, designed for general-purpose electronic applications requiring stable capacitance and reliable performance across standard operating conditions. This component belongs to the 1206 package family, a widely-used surface-mount form factor that provides a balance between compact board real estate and ease of handling during assembly and rework operations. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving critical functions in power supply filtering, signal coupling, decoupling, and noise suppression across countless applications. The 1206 package format is particularly popular in industrial control systems, consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, and automotive subsystems where both reliability and manufacturing efficiency are important considerations. The "122J" designation in this part number indicates the capacitance value and voltage rating typical of this series. These capacitors are engineered to deliver consistent performance in mainstream applications where precision tolerances and extended temperature stability are beneficial but extreme performance demands are not the primary driver. AVX's ceramic capacitor lines are known for manufacturing consistency and long-term availability, making them a practical choice for applications requiring component longevity and supply chain stability. Engineers typically specify ceramic capacitors from this general category when designing power distribution networks, input/output filtering stages, and high-frequency signal integrity circuits in industrial equipment. The 1206 package size represents an optimal selection point for many designs—larger than 0805 packages but still space-efficient compared to through-hole or larger surface-mount alternatives. This makes it a default choice in modular designs where multiple capacitors must be placed in limited board areas without resorting to extremely fine-pitch assembly techniques. The multilayer construction of this MLCC provides capacitance density superior to film capacitors of comparable voltage ratings, while ceramic chemistry offers better high-frequency performance and temperature stability than electrolytic designs. For applications where a designer needs straightforward filtering or coupling without specialized requirements such as ultra-low ESR, high-current ripple handling, or extreme temperature ranges, standard ceramic capacitors like this AVX part offer cost-effective, proven solutions. Industrial buyers and design engineers often maintain this part number in their standard component libraries due to AVX's reputation for consistent quality and the 1206 package's universal compatibility with standard manufacturing equipment. The combination of established availability, reliable performance characteristics, and straightforward specifications makes this capacitor suitable for production runs requiring dependable, long-term sourcing.
