12061C182JAT2A

The 12061C182JAT2A 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, a widely used surface-mount form factor that balances compact size with convenient handling and assembly characteristics for automated manufacturing environments. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part function as energy storage and filtering elements in electronic circuits. They are fundamental passive components used to smooth voltage ripples, decouple power supplies, block DC while passing AC signals, and support signal conditioning across a broad range of frequencies. The 1206 package size makes this capacitor suitable for applications where board space is constrained but component accessibility remains reasonable—a common requirement in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, and automotive electronics. AVX's capacitors in this series are engineered for reliable performance in standard industrial environments. The 1206 package offers several practical advantages for engineers and manufacturers: it is small enough to enable dense circuit layouts, robust enough to withstand typical PCB assembly processes including lead-free soldering, and available in wide ranging electrical values to support diverse circuit designs. The ceramic dielectric material provides stable capacitance across moderate temperature ranges and is cost-effective for high-volume production. The specific part number designation indicates this capacitor has particular electrical characteristics selected for a defined application. Engineers typically specify exact part numbers like 12061C182JAT2A rather than generic alternatives when circuit performance, thermal stability, or reliability requirements demand predictable behavior. Different manufacturers and product lines within the 1206 ceramic capacitor category exhibit variations in dielectric material class, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and tolerance—factors that significantly influence how a capacitor behaves under real-world operating conditions. This part is commonly found in power supply filtering networks, input/output decoupling stages, and signal path filtering circuits throughout industrial electronics. It serves as a replacement component during board-level repairs, design updates, and manufacturing of compatible equipment. The AVX brand carries established quality credentials in the passive components market, making this part a reliable choice for engineers who require documented manufacturing consistency and proven field performance.
