12061A201KAT2A

# AVX 12061A201KAT2A Product Description The AVX 12061A201KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications across industrial and commercial electronic assemblies. As a component in AVX's established 1206 package family, this capacitor offers the balance of size efficiency and electrical performance that makes it a standard choice for modern circuit board design. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are among the most widely deployed passive components in electronics manufacturing, serving critical roles in power distribution networks, RF circuits, and analog signal processing. The 1206 package format—measuring approximately 3.2mm by 1.6mm—represents an industry-standard size that bridges compact design requirements with adequate current-handling capability. This size class is particularly prevalent in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications where space is constrained but performance demands remain moderate to high. The specific part number suffix "201K" typically indicates a capacitance value in the 200pF range, making this part suitable for applications requiring smaller capacitive values, such as RF coupling, impedance matching, or high-frequency filtering. AVX's ceramic capacitor technology incorporates multiple internal layers of dielectric material to achieve reliable performance across operating conditions commonly encountered in industrial environments. These capacitors are engineered to withstand thermal cycling, mechanical vibration, and the manufacturing stresses inherent to solder reflow processes. Engineers specify parts from AVX's ceramic capacitor portfolio for their consistent quality, established reliability data, and broad availability through distribution channels. The 1206 format accommodates automated pick-and-place manufacturing processes used in high-volume production, reducing assembly complexity and cost. Additionally, ceramic capacitors in this family typically offer excellent frequency stability and low equivalent series resistance (ESR), making them particularly valuable in power supply decoupling applications where rapid transient response is required. The multilayer construction and materials science behind AVX's ceramic capacitors provide inherent protection against moisture and environmental degradation when properly specified for operating conditions. Industrial buyers often prefer established manufacturers like AVX for their comprehensive technical support, verified performance across temperature ranges, and compliance with industry standards for component reliability. Whether used as part of a power integrity solution, signal conditioning stage, or EMI filtering network, the 12061A201KAT2A represents a dependable, economical choice for circuit designers requiring proven ceramic capacitor performance in a compact form factor.
