12062C153JAT2A

# AVX 12062C153JAT2A Product Description The AVX 12062C153JAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose applications across industrial, commercial, and consumer electronics. This component belongs to AVX's established ceramic capacitor portfolio and is housed in a compact 1206 surface-mount package, a standard footprint widely used in modern PCB design. MLCCs serve as essential energy storage and filtering components in electronic circuits. They are used to stabilize voltage levels, filter high-frequency noise, decouple power supplies, and support signal conditioning across a broad range of applications. The 1206 package size offers a practical balance between board space constraints and capacitance value, making it suitable for space-efficient designs where larger packages like 1210 or 1812 may be impractical. The "C" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor operates under standard temperature and bias voltage conditions typical for general industrial use. AVX's capacitors in this family are widely specified in power distribution networks, analog signal processing circuits, switching power supplies, and RF/microwave subsystems. Engineers select these components for applications requiring reliable filtering and energy storage in environments with moderate thermal and electrical stress. The 1206 form factor is particularly common in medical devices, telecommunications equipment, automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and standard consumer applications. Its widespread adoption means excellent availability, simplified procurement, and straightforward PCB assembly compatibility with standard pick-and-place equipment. When specifying the 12062C153JAT2A, engineers typically prioritize the combination of proven reliability, established manufacturing processes, and compatibility with standard assembly workflows. AVX's long-standing manufacturing standards ensure consistency across production runs. This component represents a conservative design choice for applications where reliable, predictable performance is required over exotic performance characteristics. For applications requiring specific performance parameters such as exact capacitance tolerance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient behavior, or frequency response characteristics, detailed component documentation should be consulted to ensure the part meets your circuit design requirements. The 1206 package supports both lead-free and traditional assembly processes, providing flexibility in manufacturing environments with varying soldering standards. This capacitor is suitable for designers seeking a dependable, well-established component that fits standard footprints and integrates easily into conventional manufacturing workflows without requiring specialized handling or assembly considerations.
