12061A251FAT2A

The AVX 12061A251FAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from AVX's established component lineup, designed to meet the demands of modern electronic assemblies across industrial, consumer, and telecommunications applications. This component belongs to the 1206 case size family, a standard surface-mount package widely adopted in circuit design for its balance between compact footprint and practical handling characteristics during manufacturing. Multilayer ceramic capacitors serve as essential energy storage and filtering elements in electronic circuits. They are used to smooth voltage ripple, decouple power supplies, couple and deblock signals, and manage electromagnetic interference across a broad range of frequencies. The 1206 package size makes this particular part suitable for space-constrained applications while remaining large enough to accommodate the electrical performance requirements of many industrial systems. AVX capacitors are recognized in the industry for consistent quality and reliability across temperature ranges and operating conditions typical of industrial electronics. The 12061A251FAT2A designation reflects specific design parameters including dielectric material composition, voltage rating, and capacitance value that together define the component's electrical behavior. Parts in this family are commonly specified in power management circuits, signal conditioning stages, and noise filtering applications where dependable performance is critical. Engineers select this specific part number when their circuit design requires the particular combination of electrical characteristics represented by this component's code. The 1206 footprint provides sufficient case area to accommodate the required capacitance value while fitting within standard high-density PCB layouts. AVX's manufacturing processes ensure consistent performance across production batches, an important consideration for industrial applications where circuit behavior must remain predictable throughout the component's operational life. The multilayer ceramic construction provides excellent frequency response characteristics and stable performance across normal operating temperature ranges, making these components suitable for both ambient and controlled-environment applications. Their small size and robust construction make them resistant to mechanical stress during PCB assembly, handling, and field deployment. This component would typically be specified as part of a comprehensive capacitor strategy in industrial circuit design, where multiple capacitor types and values work together to achieve overall power quality, signal integrity, and electromagnetic compatibility objectives. The 1206 case size strikes a practical balance for designers working on modern equipment where miniaturization requirements continue to increase while maintaining manufacturability and field serviceability.
