1206AA390JAT1A

# 1206AA390JAT1A Product Description The 1206AA390JAT1A is a surface-mount chip component manufactured by AVX in the widely-used 1206 package size. This component belongs to the ceramic capacitor family, specifically designed for general-purpose applications in electronic circuits where moderate capacitance values and reliable performance are required. The 1206 package form factor represents a standard rectangular ceramic chip measuring approximately 3.2mm by 1.6mm, making it suitable for both automated assembly and space-constrained PCB layouts. This package type is one of the most common in modern electronics manufacturing, enabling efficient production and straightforward integration into industrial and consumer applications alike. As an AVX ceramic capacitor, this part is engineered to meet the demands of industrial electronic equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, consumer electronics, and automotive systems. Engineers specify AVX capacitors in applications requiring stable performance across temperature variations, consistent electrical characteristics over the component's lifetime, and compliance with industry reliability standards. Ceramic capacitors in this category are typically employed in power supply circuits, signal filtering applications, decoupling networks, and timing circuits. Their compact size and predictable performance make them ideal for applications where space is limited but electrical stability cannot be compromised. The 1206 package accommodates capacitor values suitable for general signal conditioning, bypass filtering, and noise suppression tasks common in industrial control systems, data acquisition equipment, and power conversion circuits. The specific designation within this part number indicates a particular capacitance value and voltage rating combination optimized for standard industrial operating conditions. Engineers select this exact part when their circuit design requires this specific capacitance value within the reliability and environmental performance envelope that AVX's manufacturing standards provide. Key considerations that drive selection of this particular component include the predictable behavior of ceramic dielectrics across operating temperature ranges typical in industrial environments, the established supply chain for 1206-package capacitors, and compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes. The AVX brand heritage in capacitor manufacturing supports consistent quality and performance verification across production batches. This component represents a foundational building block in countless electronic systems where capacitive filtering, impedance matching, or energy storage functions are required at modest scales. Its widespread adoption across industrial applications reflects its proven reliability and cost-effectiveness in production environments where component consistency and availability are critical factors.
