12062A331JAT4A

The AVX 12062A331JAT4A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and energy storage applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 1206 package family, which is a surface-mount form factor measuring 3.2mm by 1.6mm, making it suitable for compact board layouts while remaining easy to handle and solder in automated assembly environments. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, particularly valued for their small size, reliability, and cost-effectiveness across a wide range of applications. The 1206 package size represents a common middle ground in the MLCC spectrum—larger than 0603 packages but smaller than 1210 packages—offering a practical balance between capacitance density and thermal performance. This capacitor type finds widespread use in industrial equipment, consumer electronics, telecommunications infrastructure, automotive systems, and power supply circuits. Engineers typically specify MLCCs for DC blocking, AC coupling, power supply bypassing, and noise filtering on signal and power rails. The ceramic dielectric composition provides stable performance across standard operating temperature ranges and frequency bands used in most industrial and commercial applications. The part number designation indicates this capacitor is designed to work with standard voltage and temperature operating windows common to industrial-grade components. The 1206 package format ensures compatibility with standard printed circuit board design rules and pick-and-place assembly equipment used throughout the manufacturing industry. Engineers select this specific AVX component when they need a proven, established part number with consistent supplier availability and well-documented performance characteristics. AVX is a recognized manufacturer in the passive components space with a reputation for quality control and manufacturing consistency. Specifying a particular manufacturer and part number, rather than using generic equivalents, provides traceability for critical applications, ensures reproducible board performance across production batches, and simplifies inventory management and procurement processes. The 1206 MLCC category remains one of the most widely used passive component families in electronics manufacturing, with extensive market availability and proven long-term reliability data. This makes the AVX 12062A331JAT4A a dependable choice for engineers designing or maintaining systems where consistent, predictable capacitor performance is required without premium cost premiums associated with specialized or exotic component options.
