12061C822K4T2A

The AVX 12061C822K4T2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose and industrial electronic applications. This component represents a standard offering in AVX's extensive capacitor portfolio, serving as a reliable building block in countless circuit designs across manufacturing, automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics sectors. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used for energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling in electronic circuits. The 12061 designation indicates this part uses a 1206 surface-mount package format, one of the most widely adopted standardized sizes in the industry. This package provides a balance between compact footprint and ease of handling during automated assembly processes, making it ideal for high-volume production environments where space constraints exist but manufacturing efficiency is essential. The "C822K4T2A" portion of the part number encodes specific electrical characteristics within AVX's naming convention. Components bearing similar designations in this family typically feature capacitance values and voltage ratings suited to mainstream industrial and commercial applications rather than extreme or specialized requirements. These capacitors are commonly employed in power supply circuits, signal conditioning networks, timing circuits, and general-purpose filtering applications where cost-effectiveness and proven reliability are priorities. AVX's MLCC products in this category are manufactured using established ceramic dielectric formulations that deliver stable performance across typical operating temperature ranges found in industrial and commercial equipment. The 1206 package format offers practical advantages during PCB assembly: adequate size for reliable solder joints while maintaining component density on modern circuit boards, compatibility with standard pick-and-place equipment, and straightforward manual rework capability when necessary. Engineers typically specify exact part numbers like the 12061C822K4T2A when designing products that must meet specific voltage and capacitance requirements within defined space envelopes. Rather than selecting a substitute, engineers choose this particular part because its combination of package size, capacitance value, and voltage rating precisely fits the circuit design without over-specification that would waste board space or increase costs unnecessarily. The established production history of AVX's capacitor lines means design engineers benefit from readily available documentation, proven long-term reliability in field applications, and consistent quality through established manufacturing processes. For engineers updating legacy designs or developing new products requiring mid-range capacitive values in standard packages, the 12061C822K4T2A offers a straightforward, proven component choice.
