12065A200FAT2A

The 12065A200FAT2A is a surface-mount capacitor manufactured by AVX, designed for general-purpose electronic applications requiring reliable energy storage and filtering across a broad range of frequencies and operating conditions. This component belongs to the ceramic capacitor family, which represents one of the most widely used capacitor technologies in modern electronics due to their compact size, cost-effectiveness, and stable performance characteristics. Ceramic capacitors are employed throughout industrial and consumer electronics for multiple critical functions. They serve as bypass capacitors near integrated circuits to suppress high-frequency noise and maintain stable power supply voltages, as coupling capacitors in signal paths where DC blocking is required, and as filtering elements in power distribution networks. The surface-mount package format of this AVX component allows for high-density PCB designs and automated assembly processes essential in modern manufacturing environments. The 12065 designation indicates this capacitor uses a 1206 case size, one of the most standardized surface-mount package dimensions in the industry. This size offers a practical balance between component density and ease of handling and rework, making it a default specification for many circuit designers. The 1206 format is well-suited for both prototyping and high-volume production environments, as it is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and typical reflow soldering processes. AVX is recognized within the electronics industry for manufacturing reliable passive components meeting strict quality and consistency standards. Their ceramic capacitor lines are widely specified in aerospace, telecommunications, automotive, and industrial control applications where component reliability and consistent electrical behavior are essential requirements. Engineers typically select this specific part number when designing circuits that require dependable filtering, noise suppression, or energy storage in a standard surface-mount format with established supply chains and proven field performance. The widespread adoption of the 1206 package across the industry means that design teams have extensive application reference materials available and can rely on established manufacturing capabilities from multiple potential suppliers. When specifying capacitors for sensitive analog circuits, power management systems, or high-reliability applications, engineers must consider factors such as the dielectric material, voltage rating, capacitance tolerance, temperature stability, and overall component quality level. The AVX 12065A200FAT2A represents a mature, well-established component that delivers predictable performance in applications where standard general-purpose capacitor characteristics meet design requirements.
