1206CC151JAT1A

The 1206CC151JAT1A is a ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, part of the broad family of multilayer ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs) widely used in electronic circuit design and assembly. This component uses the standard 1206 surface-mount package, a popular mid-range form factor that balances physical size with capacitance and voltage handling capabilities. The 1206 package is approximately 3.2mm by 1.6mm, making it suitable for modern printed circuit board layouts where space efficiency matters but component accessibility remains practical. Ceramic capacitors in the 1206 package serve fundamental roles in nearly every category of electronic equipment. Engineers specify these components for power supply decoupling, high-frequency filtering, signal coupling and blocking, noise suppression, and timing circuit applications. The reliability and cost-effectiveness of ceramic technology make 1206-sized capacitors particularly common in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, automotive subsystems, and power management circuits. These components handle the everyday filtering and energy storage tasks that keep circuits stable and noise-free. AVX is a recognized manufacturer of passive components with a reputation for consistent quality across their capacitor product lines. The 1206CC series represents standard commercial-grade multilayer ceramic capacitors designed to meet the performance requirements of general industrial and commercial applications. Devices in this family typically operate across a broad temperature range suitable for standard indoor and protected industrial environments, with stable electrical characteristics across normal working conditions. The specific designation within this part number indicates particular electrical properties, though the exact capacitance value and voltage rating are encoded in the alphanumeric suffix. Engineers choosing the 1206CC151JAT1A would be selecting based on matching these encoded properties to their circuit requirements—whether that involves filtering a specific frequency range, providing bulk capacitance in a power distribution network, or blocking DC while passing AC signals. When specifying this component, engineers value the proven reliability of the 1206 package format, the wide availability of parts from established manufacturers like AVX, and the extensive design history and application notes available for ceramic capacitors of this type. The form factor also works well with automated pick-and-place assembly equipment, reducing manufacturing costs and assembly time. For engineers designing circuits that require durable, cost-effective capacitive performance without specialized requirements, ceramic capacitors in the 1206 package remain a practical and proven choice. Compatibility with standard PCB layouts and assembly processes makes sourcing and integrating these components straightforward across production runs of various volumes.
