12061A241JAT2A

The AVX 12061A241JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications across industrial electronics and embedded systems. This surface-mount component belongs to AVX's established line of reliable capacitors widely used in power supplies, audio equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, and consumer electronics. As a 1206-sized component (measuring approximately 3.2mm x 1.6mm), this capacitor offers a practical balance between compact footprint and sufficient capacitance for many circuit designs. The surface-mount package allows for automated assembly on printed circuit boards, reducing manufacturing complexity and improving production consistency—a key advantage for high-volume industrial applications where reliability and repeatability are essential. MLLCs in this family are typically specified when designers need stable performance across temperature ranges, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and minimal leakage current. The 1206 package format is particularly common in power distribution networks where multiple capacitors work together to suppress voltage ripple and transient noise on supply rails. Engineers frequently select AVX MLLCs for their consistent dielectric properties and long operational life in industrial environments. The "JAT2A" suffix indicates this capacitor's specific characteristics within AVX's product taxonomy, relating to its dielectric material type and rated voltage class. This designation helps engineers identify compatible alternatives and verify performance requirements for their application without needing to cross-reference external documentation. Common reasons engineers specify this particular part include its proven field reliability in industrial settings, compatibility with standard printed circuit board assembly processes, and availability from established distribution channels. The 1206 package remains a de facto standard in many industrial designs, making this component a practical choice for replacement, retrofit, or new development work where compatibility with existing assembly equipment and practices is important. Industries relying on this component include industrial automation systems, motor control electronics, LED drivers, power management modules, and various embedded control systems. In these applications, the capacitor typically serves to filter DC bus ripple, provide localized charge storage near integrated circuits, or block DC while passing AC signals in coupling applications. When evaluating alternatives, engineers should verify that substitute components match both the package size and electrical specifications required by their circuit design. The AVX 12061A241JAT2A represents a dependable option for design teams seeking an established, proven component from a recognized manufacturer with consistent supply-chain availability.
