12061A750GAT2A

The 12061A750GAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, one of the industry's established producers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 1206 package family, which uses a standardized surface-mount form factor measuring approximately 3.2mm × 1.6mm. This compact size makes it suitable for space-constrained applications while remaining easy to handle and place using standard PCB assembly equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors in this package category are workhorse components found across consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications. The 1206 package strikes a practical balance between component density and thermal performance, making it a popular choice for both high-volume production and specialized industrial designs. The "750" designation in the part number typically indicates a voltage rating of 75 volts, positioning this capacitor for general-purpose power supply circuits, signal coupling, filtering, and decoupling applications in moderate-voltage systems. Ceramic capacitors from this series are valued for their reliability, low equivalent series resistance, and stable performance across temperature ranges commonly encountered in industrial environments. Engineers often specify AVX multilayer ceramic capacitors in the 1206 package when designing power distribution networks, input/output filtering stages, and noise suppression circuits. These capacitors provide effective high-frequency filtering characteristics due to their low inductance construction, making them particularly effective at decoupling supply voltages near integrated circuits and other noise-sensitive components. The GAT2A suffix indicates this part conforms to AVX's specific material composition and performance classification for the X7R or similar dielectric family. This designation ensures predictable capacitance stability over temperature and voltage variations—a critical requirement in temperature-sensitive industrial and automotive applications where performance drift could compromise circuit function. Compared to alternative capacitors, this exact part number provides engineers with confidence in consistent sourcing, well-documented thermal characteristics, and proven reliability in established design patterns. The 1206 package also offers cost-effective manufacturing at scale while maintaining performance suitable for professional-grade equipment. This component is typically used in power management circuits, where reliable filtering and transient voltage suppression are required. Industrial buyers often select this part for retrofit work, OEM production runs, and applications where component standardization and traceability are important for quality assurance and regulatory compliance.
