12061L104K4T2A

The AVX 12061L104K4T2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) from AVX's established capacitor product line. This component is designed for general-purpose energy storage, filtering, and coupling applications across industrial electronics, telecommunications equipment, power supplies, and consumer electronics. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used to smooth voltage ripple, filter high-frequency noise, decouple power supplies, and couple or block AC signals in circuits. The 12061 designation indicates a 1206 surface-mount package size (3.2mm × 1.6mm), which is one of the most widely used form factors in modern PCB design. This compact footprint makes it ideal for space-constrained applications while maintaining solderability and handling characteristics suitable for both hand assembly and high-volume automated manufacturing. The "L" in the part number typically indicates this capacitor is designed for standard frequency response across general electronics applications. AVX's MLCC portfolios are generally known for reliable performance in mainstream industrial and commercial temperature ranges, making them suitable for equipment operating in typical controlled environments or moderate outdoor conditions. The 104K designation within the part number provides information about the component's capacitive value and tolerance class. Engineers typically choose MLCCs from this value range for applications requiring moderate capacitance for filtering, decoupling, or timing circuits. The K tolerance designation indicates the component meets standard tolerance specifications common in industrial applications. Designers might specify the AVX 12061L104K4T2A over alternative options for several reasons. AVX is a well-established manufacturer with consistent quality standards and reliable supply chains, making this part suitable for original equipment manufacturing (OEM) applications where component traceability and long-term availability are important. The 1206 package size offers a practical balance between board density and component handling ease. Additionally, this part number falls within a standard capacitor value range carried by most distributors, supporting competitive pricing and availability for production volumes. This component is suitable for applications including power distribution networks, analog signal conditioning circuits, switching power supply filtering, and general noise suppression in industrial control systems. Its surface-mount configuration supports modern PCB assembly processes and cost-effective manufacturing at scale. For applications requiring specific electrical performance characteristics, temperature stability, voltage ratings, or specialized environmental ratings, engineers should consult detailed technical documentation and select components from appropriate AVX series matched to application requirements.
