12062A821GAT2A

The AVX 12062A821GAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, decoupling, and signal conditioning applications in industrial and commercial electronics. This component belongs to AVX's established family of surface-mount capacitors and is housed in a 1206 package size, making it suitable for standard PCB assembly processes and a wide range of circuit board designs. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental building blocks in modern electronics, serving critical roles in power supply circuits, signal filtering networks, and high-frequency applications. The 1206 form factor represents a widely standardized package that balances component size with handling ease during manufacturing, making it a practical choice for cost-sensitive production environments while maintaining sufficient terminal area for reliable soldering. This particular part number configuration indicates an AVX capacitor engineered for mid-range performance applications where reliability and stability are important but extreme specifications are not required. Engineers commonly specify components from this series in applications including power distribution networks, analog signal chains, RF circuits, and general-purpose filtering where broad temperature stability and repeatable performance are valued. The MLCC technology used in this component offers several advantages relevant to modern industrial design. Ceramic dielectrics provide stable capacitance across a useful temperature operating range, making them suitable for equipment that must function reliably in variable environmental conditions. The monolithic construction eliminates the failure modes associated with electrolytic alternatives, particularly important in industrial settings where maintenance access is limited. The surface-mount package format supports automated assembly, reducing manufacturing costs and improving production consistency compared to through-hole alternatives. Engineers typically select this specific part when they need proven, cost-effective capacitor performance without pursuing specialized high-temperature, high-voltage, or ultra-low-ESR characteristics that would drive selection toward premium alternatives. The 1206 package size represents an optimal middle ground—small enough for compact designs but large enough to maintain reasonable manufacturing yields and ease of handling throughout the supply chain. In circuit design, capacitors in this family are used for bypassing, filtering AC noise from DC power rails, AC coupling between signal stages, and timing applications in control circuits. Industrial applications range from motor controllers and power conversion equipment to test instrumentation, lighting systems, and embedded control modules. The AVX 12062A821GAT2A is a dependable, proven component choice for design engineers who require straightforward capacitor performance backed by an established manufacturer's quality infrastructure.
