12061C122JAT2A

The AVX 12061C122JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications in industrial and commercial electronics. This component belongs to AVX's established capacitor product line and is widely used in filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications across diverse industries. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components found in virtually every electronic device, from consumer electronics to complex industrial control systems. The 12061C122JAT2A serves as a reliable energy storage and signal management solution, helping stabilize power supplies, reduce electromagnetic noise, and facilitate AC signal transmission in circuits where DC blocking is required. The "12061" designation refers to the component's physical package size, which is a standard 1206 imperial dimension (approximately 3.2mm × 1.6mm). This compact surface-mount package is one of the most common in modern electronics manufacturing, offering an effective balance between board space efficiency and ease of handling during assembly. The small form factor makes it ideal for high-density PCB designs without sacrificing accessibility for rework or troubleshooting. The "C122" portion of the part number indicates this capacitor's capacitance value within AVX's naming convention. Capacitors of this general range are commonly specified for power supply filtering, where they work alongside larger bulk capacitors to smooth voltage ripple and transient response. They are also frequently used in signal path applications, including audio circuits, sensor interfaces, and communication modules, where capacitive coupling or AC filtering is necessary. AVX multilayer ceramic capacitors in standard packages like this are manufactured using proven processes that deliver consistent performance across commercial temperature ranges. These components are suitable for applications requiring reliable operation in typical industrial environments, making them appropriate for equipment mounted in control cabinets, motor drives, telecommunications infrastructure, and test instrumentation. Engineers typically specify this exact part number when they need a standard-value, readily available capacitor in a proven package with established supply chain reliability. The 1206 footprint is universally understood by PCB layout tools and manufacturing partners, reducing design and production complexity. Compared to alternative package sizes or manufacturer variants, the 12061C122JAT2A offers the practical advantage of widespread adoption, simplifying procurement and reducing obsolescence risk. For applications requiring specific electrical parameters such as exact tolerance, temperature coefficient, or voltage rating, engineers should consult the manufacturer's datasheet or contact our technical team to confirm this part meets their circuit requirements.
