12061C182JAT4A

The 12061C182JAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the industry's established producers of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the 1206 package family, a surface-mount form factor that has become standard in modern electronics manufacturing due to its compact footprint and reliable soldering characteristics. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental building blocks in electronic circuits, serving critical functions including energy storage, signal filtering, noise suppression, and voltage stabilization. The 1206 package size makes this component particularly suitable for space-constrained applications where board real estate is at a premium, yet where designers still require adequate capacitance values and voltage ratings for their designs. The "182" designation in this part number indicates the capacitance value within AVX's standard coding system. Ceramic capacitors in the 1206 package are commonly specified across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, including power supply circuits, signal conditioning stages, RF filtering networks, and general board-level decoupling applications. Their small size, low cost, and proven reliability have made them ubiquitous in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, automotive systems, and industrial control boards. AVX's ceramic capacitor lines are engineered to deliver consistent performance across temperature ranges typical for industrial applications. These components offer stable capacitance values under varying electrical and environmental conditions, making them dependable choices for engineers designing circuits that must operate reliably over extended periods and across diverse operating environments. Engineers typically select this specific part when several factors align: the application requires the capacitance value indicated by the 182 code, the 1206 package footprint fits their PCB layout, and they need a proven, readily-available component from an established manufacturer. The AVX brand carries the assurance of quality control and consistent manufacturing processes, which is particularly important in industrial and mission-critical applications where component failure can be costly. The surface-mount nature of the 1206 package also appeals to modern manufacturing environments, as it integrates seamlessly with standard pick-and-place and reflow soldering processes. This compatibility reduces assembly costs and improves production efficiency compared to older through-hole technologies. For engineers and procurement specialists evaluating this component, AVX's established track record in capacitor manufacturing, combined with the proven 1206 package standard, makes this a practical choice for applications requiring reliable, compact capacitive filtering and energy storage in electronic systems.
