12061C823MAT2A

The AVX 12061C823MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose decoupling, filtering, and energy storage applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 1206 package family, which refers to its surface-mount form factor measuring 3.2mm by 1.6mm, making it suitable for high-density PCB layouts where space is at a premium. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics, valued for their compact size, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The 1206 package represents a common mid-sized option that balances component density with ease of handling and assembly. This particular part from AVX's established MLCC portfolio is designed to meet the needs of industrial and commercial applications where proven performance and consistent quality are essential. The "C823" designation within this part number indicates the capacitance value and typically suggests a ceramic dielectric formulation suited to the specified application class. AVX manufactures this component using established multilayer ceramic technology, which provides excellent stability across operating temperature ranges and frequency response characteristics typical of Class II ceramics used in mainstream industrial electronics. Common applications for capacitors in this package class include power supply decoupling on logic boards, high-frequency filtering in signal processing circuits, and coupling applications in analog and mixed-signal designs. The 1206 size makes it particularly popular in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, industrial control systems, and automotive electronics where reliability and performance consistency are required without demanding the smallest possible footprint. Engineers typically specify AVX MLCCs like the 12061C823MAT2A when they need a combination of proven reliability, availability from established distributors, and performance characteristics that match standard industrial specifications. The 1206 package offers a practical middle ground—larger than 0603 packages for improved handling and current capacity, yet smaller than 1812 packages for applications not requiring maximum capacitance density. AVX's manufacturing reputation and broad distribution network make their components a standard choice for design engineers who prioritize supply chain certainty and consistent quality across production runs. The MAT2A suffix indicates this component meets RoHS compliance standards, making it suitable for modern electronics manufacturing in regulated markets. Its construction and materials are optimized for soldering with lead-free processes, reflecting contemporary environmental and regulatory requirements in industrial electronics production.
