12061C153JAT2A

The 12061C153JAT2A is a ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, a leading producer of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 1206 package family, which is a widely used surface-mount footprint measuring approximately 3.2mm x 1.6mm. The designation in the part number indicates this is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC), one of the most common capacitor types in modern electronics. Ceramic capacitors from AVX are engineered for reliability and consistency across a broad range of industrial and commercial applications. The 1206 package size represents an ideal balance between compact board real estate and ease of handling during assembly, making it suitable for both automated and manual soldering processes. This package format is standard across consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, automotive systems, and industrial control boards. The specific construction of this AVX component uses ceramic dielectric material, which provides stable performance across temperature variations and frequency ranges encountered in typical circuit operation. Ceramic capacitors are valued for their low equivalent series resistance (ESR), making them particularly effective for bypassing, decoupling, and filtering applications where rapid charge/discharge cycles are required. Engineers typically specify AVX ceramic capacitors in power supply circuits, signal conditioning stages, and noise filtering applications. The 1206 package is frequently selected when designers need a mid-range capacitor that offers sufficient capacitance in a compact footprint without requiring the larger 1210 or 1812 packages. This part would be found in switching power supplies, audio equipment, RF circuits, and general-purpose analog and digital boards. AVX's manufacturing standards ensure consistent dielectric properties and low failure rates, which is particularly important in applications where replacement or rework would be costly or impossible. The ceramic formulation in this series typically provides good frequency response characteristics, making these capacitors suitable for applications ranging from DC blocking to AC coupling across audio and RF frequency ranges. When selecting the 12061C153JAT2A, engineers benefit from AVX's established quality record and the widespread availability of components using the 1206 form factor. This standardization simplifies inventory management and reduces the technical risk associated with component sourcing. The part integrates seamlessly into designs alongside other standard passives, supporting efficient circuit board layout and manufacturing processes across multiple production facilities.
