12062A560KAT2A

The AVX 12062A560KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 1206 package family, one of the most widely adopted surface-mount capacitor formats in modern electronics manufacturing. The 1206 package offers a balance between compact footprint and handling ease, making it suitable for both manual and automated assembly processes. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are fundamental passive components used to store electrical energy, filter signals, decouple power supplies, and stabilize voltage across circuits. The 1206 size is particularly popular in applications where space constraints are moderate and reliable performance is essential. These capacitors function across a broad spectrum of industrial, consumer, and telecommunications equipment, from power distribution modules to signal conditioning circuits. The "560K" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor's rated value in the kilofarad range, making it suitable for applications requiring capacitance in that specification band. AVX's ceramic capacitor lines are engineered to meet demanding reliability standards expected in industrial and professional equipment. The "AT2A" suffix typically references AVX's specific dielectric composition and voltage rating classification, which affects the capacitor's performance characteristics across temperature ranges and electrical operating conditions. Designers and engineers select this specific part number when they require a capacitor with the dimensional and electrical properties defined by AVX's specifications for this particular variant. The 1206 package provides sufficient surface area for reliable solder connections on PCBs while maintaining component density suitable for modern circuit designs. Ceramic capacitors in this family are preferred for decoupling, bypass, and filtering roles where stability and compact integration are priorities. Industrial and engineering buyers specify MLCCs like this component in power management circuits, signal processing applications, and control electronics where consistent performance and proven reliability are critical. The widespread adoption of 1206 capacitors in production environments means established supply chains, well-understood assembly procedures, and extensive field performance history. This component is suitable for applications operating under standard industrial conditions. Engineers typically select this part when the specific capacitance value, package size, and AVX manufacturing quality align with their circuit design requirements. The 1206 format remains the industry standard for countless applications, ensuring this component integrates seamlessly into established design practices and manufacturing workflows.
