12062A561KAT2A

# Product Description The AVX 12062A561KAT2A is a thin-film capacitor designed for applications requiring precise capacitance values and excellent frequency stability. As a component from AVX's established thin-film capacitor family, this part represents a solution for engineers who need reliable performance in precision analog circuits, measurement equipment, and signal conditioning applications. Thin-film capacitors like this model are constructed using advanced deposition techniques that create extremely uniform dielectric layers, resulting in capacitors with tight tolerances and minimal drift over time. This manufacturing approach makes them distinctly different from standard ceramic or electrolytic alternatives, particularly when circuit performance depends on capacitance stability across temperature ranges and operating frequencies. The 12062 package designation indicates this is a surface-mount component with dimensions suited to modern PCB assembly processes. This compact form factor allows integration into space-constrained designs while maintaining compatibility with automated pick-and-place manufacturing. The surface-mount package also provides advantages in terms of low parasitic inductance and thermal coupling to the PCB. Engineers typically specify thin-film capacitors from AVX when applications demand performance characteristics that exceed what conventional capacitor technologies can deliver. Common use cases include precision instrumentation, analog-to-digital converter input filtering, reference circuit stabilization, and high-frequency signal coupling where distortion or frequency-dependent behavior must be minimized. These capacitors also serve well in medical electronics, aerospace systems, and industrial control equipment where reliability and performance consistency are non-negotiable. The AVX 12062A561KAT2A would be selected over alternatives when a design requires a specific capacitance value with excellent temperature coefficient performance, low equivalent series resistance, or superior high-frequency characteristics. Engineers working with precision analog circuits often choose thin-film technology specifically to reduce circuit tuning requirements and improve long-term stability of calibration-dependent systems. This component integrates readily into designs using standard SMD soldering techniques, making it compatible with contemporary manufacturing workflows. The part's established position in AVX's product line means it benefits from proven reliability data and consistent supply, important considerations for both prototype development and volume production. For applications requiring capacitive filtering, coupling, or precision timing in electronic systems, the AVX 12062A561KAT2A provides a thin-film solution capable of meeting demanding performance and stability requirements that drive specification decisions in professional and industrial equipment design.
