12062C392KAT2A

The 12062C392KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, a recognized producer of passive electronic components. This part belongs to the general family of surface-mount capacitors designed for integration into modern printed circuit boards across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this unit are fundamental passive components used in virtually every electronic system. They function to store electrical charge, filter noise, decouple power supplies, and stabilize voltage across circuits. The 1206 designation in the part number indicates the physical package size, which is a standard surface-mount form factor measuring approximately 3.2 x 1.6 millimeters. This compact size makes it suitable for high-density circuit board layouts while remaining easy to handle and solder using standard automated assembly equipment. The "392" portion of the part number typically indicates the nominal capacitance value. AVX MLCCs in this series are commonly specified in applications including power distribution networks, signal conditioning circuits, automotive electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and consumer electronics. Engineers select these capacitors for decoupling and noise suppression near integrated circuit power pins, in filtering applications where AC signal noise must be attenuated, and in energy storage functions within switching power supplies. AVX's MLCC products in standard package sizes like the 1206 are manufactured using established ceramic dielectric technologies that offer good performance across temperature ranges typical for industrial operation. These capacitors generally feature reliable solder joint integrity and consistent electrical performance over their operational life, which is particularly important in industrial environments where component reliability directly impacts system uptime. An engineer might specify this particular part number over alternatives based on several factors. AVX's manufacturing consistency and quality standards make these components suitable for mission-critical applications where failure rates must be minimized. The specific capacitance value encoded in the part number fills a particular role in circuit design that competing values or manufacturers might not address as effectively. Additionally, established supply chain relationships and widespread availability of AVX components across multiple distributors can reduce procurement complexity in production environments. The 1206 package size represents a practical balance between miniaturization and ease of manufacturing. It is large enough to provide adequate capacitance density and thermal properties, yet small enough to enable space-efficient board layouts that modern electronic design demands.
