12061A560FAT2P

The AVX 12061A560FAT2P is a surface-mount ceramic capacitor designed for use in demanding electronic applications where reliable energy storage and signal filtering are required. This component belongs to the 1206 package family, a widely recognized standard in modern PCB assembly that offers a practical balance between component density and ease of handling during manufacturing. Ceramic capacitors in this size and configuration are fundamental building blocks in contemporary electronics, serving critical roles in power supply filtering, decoupling, AC coupling, and signal conditioning circuits. Engineers select components from this family for applications ranging from consumer electronics and telecommunications infrastructure to industrial control systems, automotive electronics, and medical devices. The 1206 package format has become industry-standard precisely because it provides adequate surface area for reliable soldering while maintaining reasonable board-level real estate efficiency. The "560" designation in the part number typically indicates the capacitance value, though the complete electrical specifications—including exact capacitance tolerance, voltage rating, and temperature coefficient—are specific to AVX's manufacturing standards for this particular part number. AVX, a respected manufacturer of passive components, produces ceramic capacitors engineered to meet the stringent reliability requirements of industrial and commercial applications. This specific part number variant suggests particular characteristics suited to specific application requirements. Engineers often specify exact part numbers like this one rather than searching broadly across component families because manufacturers implement design choices in individual part numbers that affect performance in particular circuit contexts. These choices might relate to the dielectric material used, the internal construction method, or how the component responds across temperature ranges and frequency spectra. The surface-mount configuration makes the 12061A560FAT2P suitable for automated assembly processes, a significant consideration for manufacturers scaling production. The ceramic construction provides stability and predictability compared to certain alternative technologies, making these capacitors appropriate for circuits where long-term performance consistency matters. When designing circuits requiring reliable capacitive performance in standard package formats, engineers benefit from selecting established part numbers from quality manufacturers. The AVX 12061A560FAT2P represents a proven option within the ceramic capacitor landscape, backed by a manufacturer with extensive experience in meeting industrial and commercial reliability standards. For applications demanding specific electrical characteristics within the 1206 package family, this part number warrants consideration during the component selection phase.
