1206YA392JAT2A

The AVX 1206YA392JAT2A is a ceramic chip capacitor in the industry-standard 1206 surface-mount package. This component is part of AVX's established capacitor lineup and represents the type of filtering and decoupling solution widely used across consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and automotive applications. The 1206 package format makes this capacitor well-suited for high-density PCB designs where space efficiency matters but component accessibility remains practical. Surface-mount technology allows for automated placement during manufacturing, reducing assembly costs and improving production throughput compared to through-hole alternatives. The compact form factor also helps minimize board real estate while maintaining robust electrical performance. Ceramic chip capacitors like this part function as energy storage and filtering elements in electronic circuits. They are commonly specified for decoupling power supplies, filtering high-frequency noise, coupling AC signals between amplifier stages, and stabilizing voltage rails in digital and analog circuits. Engineers select ceramic capacitors for applications requiring stable performance across commercial temperature ranges and moderate frequency operation. AVX's ceramic capacitor series, which includes this part, is recognized for reliable performance in mainstream industrial and commercial applications. These components typically offer good frequency response characteristics, relatively low equivalent series resistance, and predictable aging characteristics. The ceramic dielectric formulation used in this family provides a balance between capacitance density and stability, making these capacitors suitable for general-purpose filtering and coupling applications rather than specialized high-reliability or extreme-condition use cases. The part number designation 1206YA392JAT2A contains coding that identifies the package size (1206), dielectric type and voltage class (YA series), and capacitance value. Engineers familiar with AVX's naming conventions can extract key performance parameters directly from the part number, streamlining component selection for standard circuit designs. When selecting this specific part number, engineers typically choose it because the combination of its package size, electrical characteristics, and temperature stability match the requirements of their circuit application. It represents a cost-effective solution for applications that do not demand specialized characteristics such as ultra-low ESR, high-temperature operation beyond standard ranges, or military-grade qualification. The widespread use of 1206 ceramics across the industry also ensures design familiarity and straightforward integration into proven circuit topologies. For engineers designing consumer or industrial electronics requiring standard filtering and decoupling functions, the 1206YA392JAT2A offers a dependable, proven component choice with strong supply chain availability.
