12062C222MAT2A

The 12062C222MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, designed for general-purpose filtering and decoupling applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the established MLCC family, which represents one of the most widely used capacitor technologies in modern electronics due to their compact size, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. This particular part features a 1206 case code designation, indicating a surface-mount package measuring 3.2 mm by 1.6 mm. This standardized form factor is one of the most common sizes in industrial and consumer electronics, offering an optimal balance between PCB real estate efficiency and ease of handling and assembly. The compact footprint makes it ideal for space-constrained applications where board density is a critical design consideration. MLLCs in this size and configuration are commonly employed in power supply circuits, RF applications, digital signal processing equipment, and general circuit board decoupling networks. They are frequently specified in industrial control systems, automotive electronics, telecommunications infrastructure, and consumer devices. The broad applicability of this component type reflects its versatility across multiple voltage and frequency ranges depending on the specific dielectric material and construction. Engineers typically specify AVX MLLCs for applications requiring stable performance across temperature variations, good high-frequency characteristics, and reliable long-term operation in demanding environments. AVX's manufacturing processes and quality standards make their MLCC offerings suitable for applications where component reliability directly impacts system performance and mean time between failures. When selecting a specific MLCC part number like the 12062C222MAT2A, engineers consider several design factors including the required capacitance value, voltage rating, dielectric type, temperature coefficient, and frequency response characteristics. The designation embedded in the part number provides guidance on these electrical properties. Designers may choose this particular part over alternatives when its specific performance envelope, package size, or established supply chain history aligns with their circuit requirements and design specifications. The 1206 package size also offers practical manufacturing advantages, as it remains within the capability range of standard SMT assembly equipment without requiring specialized handling procedures. This accessibility makes it a practical choice for both prototype development and high-volume production environments. For applications requiring a proven, widely-available multilayer ceramic capacitor with established performance characteristics in the 1206 form factor, this AVX component represents a reliable standard solution applicable across numerous industrial, commercial, and technical applications.
