12061A1R2BAT2A

The AVX 12061A1R2BAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and energy storage applications in electronic circuits. As a surface-mount component in the 1206 package size, this capacitor is engineered to meet the needs of industrial and commercial electronics where reliability and compact board layout are essential. The 1206 package format represents one of the most widely adopted chip capacitor sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. Its dimensions provide an optimal balance between compact footprint and handling capability during automated assembly, making it suitable for high-volume production environments common in industrial control systems, power supplies, telecommunications equipment, and consumer electronics. The relatively robust construction of this package size also offers improved mechanical durability compared to smaller alternatives, which is advantageous in applications subject to vibration or thermal cycling. AVX is recognized for manufacturing MLCCs with consistent electrical performance and high reliability standards. Capacitors in this family are typically specified for applications requiring stable capacitance across operating temperature ranges and voltage conditions. The X7R or similar dielectric materials commonly used in general-purpose industrial-grade MLCCs provide predictable behavior suitable for decoupling power supply noise, filtering high-frequency interference, and supporting timing circuits where moderate tolerance and temperature stability are acceptable. Engineers select the 12061A1R2BAT2A in applications where the specific capacitance value encoded in the part number meets circuit design requirements without oversizing the component. The 1206 package size offers advantages over larger alternatives when board space is constrained, while simultaneously providing better performance than smaller packages in applications requiring lower equivalent series resistance or higher current handling capability. This makes it a practical choice for designers balancing performance, cost, and assembly efficiency. The multilayer construction provides high volumetric efficiency, delivering relatively high capacitance in a small physical footprint. This characteristic is particularly valuable in densely populated circuit boards where every millimeter of real estate affects system cost and thermal management. Industrial buyers typically specify this component for incorporation into subsystems such as industrial automation controllers, motor drives, LED lighting power supplies, and distributed power architectures where proven, standardized components reduce design risk and support established manufacturing processes. The combination of AVX quality standards, proven 1206 package compatibility with industry-standard pick-and-place equipment, and the capacitance value represented by this part number makes it a dependable choice for cost-sensitive yet reliability-conscious applications across multiple industrial sectors.
