12061C272JAT4A

The AVX 12061C272JAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling applications in electronic equipment. This component belongs to AVX's established 1206 case size family, which represents one of the most widely used surface-mount capacitor packages across industrial and commercial electronics. The 1206 package format (measuring 0.126 by 0.063 inches) provides a practical balance between component density and ease of handling during assembly. This size is standard across automated production environments and remains accessible for manual rework when necessary. The ceramic dielectric construction delivers reliable performance across a broad range of operating conditions, making these capacitors suitable for everything from consumer electronics to industrial control systems and telecommunications equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors in this class are commonly specified for power supply bypassing near integrated circuits, where they suppress high-frequency noise and stabilize voltage rails. They also function effectively in filter networks, timing circuits, and impedance matching applications. The 1206 format's capacitance density allows designers to implement effective filtering without consuming excessive board real estate, which is particularly valuable in space-constrained applications. Engineers typically choose AVX MLCCs from this family for their consistent manufacturing quality and reliable long-term performance. AVX's production standards ensure minimal variation between units, which is important when designing circuits that require predictable component behavior. The 1206 package size offers good availability across multiple suppliers, reducing single-source risk in production environments. The specific part number designation indicates particular electrical characteristics within AVX's 1206 MLCC lineup. Industrial buyers often standardize on proven part numbers like this one to maintain design continuity across product revisions and to simplify inventory management. When design requirements call for this capacitor's particular combination of capacitance value, voltage rating, and tolerance class, specifying the exact part number ensures consistent circuit performance throughout the product's lifecycle. This component represents a foundational building block in modern electronics. Whether used in prototype development, manufacturing, or field service applications, the 1206 ceramic capacitor remains one of the most versatile and reliable passive components available. Its widespread adoption across industries reflects both its technical adequacy for common applications and the practical advantages of standardization in electronics supply chains.
