12061A201GA12A

The AVX 12061A201GA12A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications in electronic systems. This component represents a reliable solution for engineers who need stable capacitive performance across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. As a surface-mount ceramic capacitor in the 1206 package size, this component offers a practical balance between compact footprint and handling ease for automated assembly processes. The 1206 package format is one of the most widely adopted sizes in modern electronics, making it compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering processes used in high-volume manufacturing environments. Multilayer ceramic capacitors from AVX are engineered for consistent performance in demanding applications including power supply filtering, noise suppression in digital circuits, and AC coupling in analog signal paths. The dielectric materials used in these capacitors provide stable capacitance values across typical operating temperature ranges, making them suitable for both consumer-grade and industrial-grade equipment that must function reliably over extended temperature variations. Engineers typically specify AVX ceramic capacitors when they require components with proven long-term reliability, established supply chain consistency, and compatibility with industry-standard board layouts. The 1206 package size particularly appeals to designers working on space-constrained PCBs where larger through-hole components are impractical, yet larger surface-mount alternatives would waste valuable board real estate. Common applications for multilayer ceramic capacitors in this package include telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, automotive electronics, power distribution modules, and consumer electronics. The versatility of MLCCs makes them fundamental building blocks in nearly every modern electronic device requiring energy storage or signal filtering functions. When selecting this specific part number, engineers benefit from AVX's reputation for manufacturing consistency and quality assurance. The company maintains strict production controls to ensure batch-to-batch uniformity, which is particularly important in applications where capacitor performance directly impacts system reliability. Additionally, the established market presence of this part number typically means better availability and pricing predictability compared to obscure or recently discontinued alternatives. This component serves as a drop-in replacement option for engineers redesigning or refreshing existing products that may have originally specified similar AVX ceramic capacitors. Standardizing on recognized part numbers reduces qualification risk and accelerates product development cycles by eliminating the need for extensive re-validation testing.
