12061A391JAT2A

The AVX 12061A391JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering and decoupling applications in electronic equipment. As a component in the 1206 package family, this capacitor delivers reliable performance in a compact form factor widely used across industrial, consumer, and commercial electronics. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model function as energy storage and filtering elements in circuits, helping to smooth voltage ripple, decouple power supplies, and block DC while passing AC signals. The 1206 package designation refers to the capacitor's physical dimensions (approximately 3.2mm x 1.6mm), making it suitable for high-density PCB designs where space is constrained but performance cannot be compromised. AVX's 1206 series capacitors are commonly specified in industrial control systems, power distribution modules, telecommunications equipment, and consumer electronics where stable, cost-effective capacitance is required. The multilayer construction provides the high volumetric efficiency needed in modern compact designs, and AVX components are recognized for consistent manufacturing quality and long-term reliability in demanding environments. Engineers typically select this part number when their circuit design calls for a standard general-purpose capacitor with proven performance characteristics in the 1206 package. The choice of this specific component often depends on matching the required capacitance value, voltage rating, and dielectric class to the application's operating conditions. AVX MLCCs are available across a wide range of capacitance values and voltage ratings, allowing designers to find exact matches for their filtering and decoupling needs without over-specifying performance or footprint. The reliability of multilayer ceramic capacitors makes them preferred in industrial applications where equipment downtime is costly and environmental conditions may be challenging. The 1206 package offers a good balance between handling ease during assembly and space efficiency on modern PCBs, while remaining compatible with standard surface-mount placement equipment used in manufacturing. Designers working on equipment requiring stable DC supply filtering, AC signal coupling, or EMI suppression often turn to established manufacturers like AVX for proven component families. The 1206 package size, combined with AVX's manufacturing standards, makes this capacitor a practical choice for engineers designing robust industrial and commercial electronic systems where component reliability and performance consistency are essential specifications.
