1206CC562MAT1A

# AVX 1206CC562MAT1A Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor The 1206CC562MAT1A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the established component suppliers in the passive electronics market. This component is housed in a 1206 surface-mount package, which is one of the most widely used standardized sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. The 1206 package dimensions make this capacitor suitable for high-density PCB layouts while remaining large enough to handle moderate power levels and provide straightforward handling during automated assembly processes. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model are fundamental building blocks in virtually all modern electronic equipment. They serve critical functions including power supply filtering, decoupling, coupling, and noise suppression across numerous applications. The capacitor's ceramic dielectric material enables compact size with reasonable capacitance values, making it particularly valuable in space-constrained designs where traditional film or electrolytic alternatives would be impractical. The "562" designation in this part number indicates the capacitance value following standard notation used across the industry. AVX's CC series represents a general-purpose line of MLCCs designed to balance performance, cost, and reliability for mainstream industrial and consumer applications. The T1A suffix refers to the specific packaging configuration and manufacturing batch coding used by AVX for traceability and quality control. Engineers typically specify components from the 1206 MLCC family when designing filtering networks for power supplies, decoupling networks near high-speed digital logic, analog signal conditioning circuits, and various RF/microwave applications. The 1206 package offers practical advantages over smaller packages like 0603 or 0402 when higher capacitance values are needed without requiring multiple components in parallel, or when the application benefits from improved electrical performance characteristics available in the slightly larger footprint. The choice of AVX as a manufacturer often reflects procurement requirements based on supply chain strategy, established vendor relationships, or specific quality certifications needed for the end application. AVX maintains consistent manufacturing standards across their MLCC lines and provides reliable datasheets and technical support valued by design engineers and procurement teams. This component would typically appear in power distribution modules, industrial control electronics, telecommunications equipment, automotive systems, and consumer electronics where reliable energy storage and signal filtering are required. Its combination of standardized package size, proven performance class, and established manufacturer support makes it a practical choice for both original equipment manufacturers and contract manufacturers seeking dependable passive components.
