12061C105K4T2A

The AVX 12061C105K4T2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications. This component belongs to the 1206 package family, one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor sizes in modern electronics, measuring 3.2mm x 1.6mm. The compact form factor makes it suitable for space-constrained PCB designs while maintaining reasonable capacitance values and voltage ratings typical for general-purpose filtering and coupling applications. As an AVX product, this capacitor represents the manufacturer's established line of reliable ceramic capacitors commonly found in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors of this type are valued for their stability, compact size, low cost, and ability to function across broad temperature ranges, making them ideal for applications where consistent performance is required without excessive board space consumption. The "C" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor belongs to a general-purpose performance class suitable for decoupling, bypass filtering, and energy storage in power supply circuits. Engineers typically specify components from this family when designing filtering stages for digital logic circuits, analog signal conditioning, power distribution networks, and general-purpose timing circuits. The 1206 package size offers a practical balance between component density and ease of manual or automated assembly. This part number configuration suggests the capacitor carries specifications appropriate for standard industrial and commercial applications. The multilayer ceramic construction provides inherent advantages including low equivalent series resistance (ESR), high frequency performance, and reliable operation in temperature-cycling environments. These characteristics make the part particularly valuable in applications where filtering effectiveness at higher frequencies is important, such as in switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, and high-speed digital circuits. Engineers might select the AVX 12061C105K4T2A specifically because AVX's quality standards and consistent manufacturing processes ensure reliable long-term performance in demanding applications. The established design history of this part number and widespread availability through distribution channels reduce design risk and procurement complexity. Additionally, the 1206 MLCC format has become an industry standard, meaning design compatibility across multiple projects and simplified inventory management for manufacturers. For precise electrical specifications including exact capacitance values, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and tolerance information relevant to your specific application requirements, consultation of the component datasheet is recommended before final design decisions are made.
