12062A331JAT2A

The AVX 12062A331JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for use in demanding industrial and commercial electronic applications. This component belongs to AVX's established line of surface-mount ceramic capacitors, which are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics manufacturing. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this part serve as essential energy storage and filtering elements in power distribution circuits, signal coupling networks, and noise suppression applications. Engineers rely on these components to stabilize voltage supplies, filter high-frequency noise, and provide localized energy buffering near active semiconductor devices. The compact surface-mount package format makes them ideal for space-constrained applications where board real estate is at a premium. The part number structure indicates this capacitor is housed in a 1206 package size, which represents a standard surface-mount footprint measuring approximately 3.2mm by 1.6mm. This size offers a practical balance between component density and handling ease during assembly operations. The "331" designation in the part number indicates the capacitance value in the picofarad range, a specification common in bypass and decoupling applications throughout industrial electronics. AVX MLCCs are recognized for consistent performance across industrial temperature ranges and reliable operation in manufacturing environments. These capacitors are frequently specified in industrial control systems, telecommunications infrastructure, data acquisition equipment, power management modules, and embedded computing applications. Their multilayer construction provides stable capacitance characteristics across varying operating conditions, making them suitable for applications requiring predictable electrical performance over extended service life. Engineers typically specify exact part numbers like this one when application requirements demand precise capacitance values, specific package dimensions for PCB layout constraints, or when established supplier relationships and long-term availability assurances are important for production continuity. The AVX brand reputation for quality and consistency makes this component a reliable choice for designs where component failure could impact system reliability or safety. This capacitor would be selected during the design phase based on circuit requirements for bypass filtering, power supply decoupling, or signal conditioning functions. Its standardized footprint ensures compatibility with modern PCB assembly equipment and manufacturing processes used across industrial electronics production. For applications requiring high-volume production runs or mission-critical systems, component traceability and proven performance history often make established manufacturer parts like this AVX capacitor preferable to lesser-known alternatives.
