12062A101KAT2A

The AVX 12062A101KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose and performance-critical applications across industrial, commercial, and consumer electronics. This component belongs to AVX's established MLCC portfolio, a family of capacitors widely specified in power supplies, signal conditioning circuits, filtering stages, and decoupling applications where reliable energy storage and signal integrity are essential. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this unit are constructed from alternating layers of ceramic dielectric material and metal electrodes, providing excellent volumetric efficiency and stable performance across a broad range of operating conditions. The 12062 designation refers to the physical package size—a surface-mount format commonly used in modern PCB assembly. This size represents a practical balance between board space constraints and capacitive performance, making it suitable for applications where component density matters without sacrificing electrical reliability. As an AVX-manufactured part, the 12062A101KAT2A reflects the company's long-standing reputation in capacitor design and quality assurance. AVX MLCCs are engineered to meet demanding industrial specifications and are frequently selected for applications requiring consistent performance over extended operational lifespans. The part's designation structure encodes its electrical classification, temperature characteristics, and dielectric type, allowing engineers to match it precisely to circuit requirements. Engineers typically specify this exact part when design documentation, qualification requirements, or supply chain commitments require the AVX brand and this particular package configuration. The 12062 format is widely used in modern electronics manufacturing, which can simplify sourcing, assembly, and quality control procedures. Industries including telecommunications infrastructure, medical device manufacturing, aerospace and defense electronics, industrial automation, and automotive electronics commonly employ capacitors from this family. Common circuit applications include power distribution networks where capacitors work to smooth voltage ripple, RF and high-frequency circuits requiring stable capacitance across operating temperature ranges, filtering stages in analog and digital signal paths, and coupling or bypass roles in amplifier and switching regulator designs. The multilayer construction generally offers better frequency response characteristics compared to single-layer alternatives, which is particularly valuable in noise-sensitive applications. When evaluating this component against alternatives, engineers consider AVX's proven reliability record, availability in established supply channels, compatibility with existing design documentation or qualification data, and the part's suitability for the specific environmental and thermal conditions of the intended application. Consistency in performance and predictable aging characteristics make MLCCs in this family a dependable choice for designs prioritizing long-term stability and field reliability.
