12062A241GAT2A

The AVX 12062A241GAT2A is a surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for industrial and commercial electronics applications. This component belongs to AVX's established family of general-purpose ceramic capacitors, which are fundamental building blocks in modern electronic equipment across numerous industries. Multilayer ceramic capacitors serve as energy storage and filtering elements in circuits, supporting functions such as power supply decoupling, signal coupling, and noise suppression. The 12062A241GAT2A is built using multiple thin layers of ceramic dielectric material with interleaved metallic electrodes, a construction method that enables high capacitance values in a compact physical footprint. This design approach provides reliable performance in demanding environments where space constraints and cost efficiency are important considerations. The part number designation indicates this capacitor uses a 1206 case size (a standard in surface-mount component packaging), making it compatible with automated assembly equipment and modern PCB layouts. This standardized package format simplifies procurement and design integration for engineers working on equipment ranging from consumer electronics to industrial control systems and telecommunications infrastructure. AVX ceramic capacitors in this series are widely specified for applications including power distribution networks, filtering stages in amplifier circuits, timing circuits, and general-purpose decoupling on logic boards. The ceramic dielectric material provides stable performance across typical operating temperature ranges encountered in industrial settings, making these components suitable for both indoor and moderately harsh environments. Engineers typically choose this specific part number when they need a combination of proven reliability, established supply chain presence, and consistent electrical performance. AVX's manufacturing processes for this family of capacitors are well-documented in the industry, and these components have a long track record of use in production equipment. The standardized 1206 package size also means designers can easily source alternative suppliers if needed, reducing single-source dependency while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility. The multilayer ceramic construction used in this part offers advantages over alternative capacitor technologies when engineers need compact solutions with good frequency response characteristics and stable performance in standard operating conditions. These capacitors are cost-effective for high-volume production while maintaining quality standards required for reliable industrial equipment. This component is suitable for design engineers developing power electronics, industrial automation equipment, data communications hardware, and general-purpose electronic systems where ceramic capacitor technology meets both electrical requirements and packaging constraints.
