12061C332MAT2A

The 12061C332MAT2A 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 standard surface-mount footprint widely used in modern electronic assemblies where space efficiency and manufacturing automation are important considerations. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are fundamental passive components found in virtually every type of electronic equipment. They serve critical functions including energy storage, noise filtering, signal coupling and decoupling, and power supply stabilization. The ceramic dielectric material allows these capacitors to achieve high capacitance density in a compact form factor, making them ideal for space-constrained applications where traditional through-hole components are impractical. The 1206 package size represents a balance between component density and ease of handling during assembly. This particular package is favored in applications ranging from consumer electronics to industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, and medical devices. Engineers often specify 1206 MLCCs when design requirements call for moderate to high capacitance values in applications where board real estate is limited but component accessibility for rework remains important. AVX's MLCC products are engineered for reliability across a broad range of operating conditions. The company's manufacturing processes are designed to meet stringent quality standards required by industrial and commercial customers. Components in this family are typically suitable for use in power distribution networks, RF circuits, analog signal processing, and digital logic support applications. When selecting the 12061C332MAT2A specifically, engineers would be choosing a component based on particular electrical characteristics suited to their circuit requirements. The "C" designation in the part number indicates the capacitance value category within AVX's product line. An engineer might specify this exact part number when their design requires a specific capacitance value combined with the reliability profile, temperature stability, and electrical performance characteristics associated with AVX's manufacturing standards for this series. The 1206 package format ensures compatibility with standard PCB assembly equipment and allows for efficient production processes. This widespread standardization makes the part a practical choice for both prototype development and high-volume manufacturing scenarios. For applications requiring proven performance in demanding industrial or commercial environments, AVX MLCCs in this package family provide a well-established solution with consistent quality.
