1206YA682FAT2A

The 1206YA682FAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, one of the industry's established producers of capacitive components. This part is housed in a 1206 surface-mount package, a standard rectangular form factor widely used in modern electronics manufacturing. The part number designation indicates this capacitor is designed for general-purpose applications across consumer, industrial, and commercial electronics. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this model function as energy storage and filtering elements in electronic circuits. They are used to smooth voltage ripples, block DC signals while passing AC, couple and decouple signals between circuit stages, and suppress electromagnetic interference. The 1206 package size represents a balance between component density and ease of handling during assembly, making it suitable for both automated and manual soldering processes. The 1206 form factor is one of the most common package types in modern PCB design, offering broad compatibility with standard pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering procedures. This widespread adoption means designers can source replacement components readily and leverage established manufacturing workflows without redesign or process modifications. AVX's MLCC products are recognized for consistent quality and reliability in demanding environments. The company's manufacturing processes support applications ranging from basic consumer devices to industrial control systems, telecommunications infrastructure, and automotive electronics. The 1206 package in particular is favored in applications where board space is moderately constrained but reliability and performance are critical. Engineers typically specify this exact part when they require a dependable, mid-size ceramic capacitor from an established manufacturer with proven supply chain stability. The 1206 package offers advantages over smaller alternatives (0603, 0402) by providing better volumetric efficiency for capacitance values and typically lower series resistance and inductance characteristics. Compared to larger packages, it reduces PCB footprint while maintaining good electrical performance for most industrial and consumer applications. This component is frequently found in power supply circuits, signal conditioning stages, decoupling networks near integrated circuits, and general filtering applications. The combination of AVX's manufacturing heritage, the standardized 1206 package ecosystem, and MLCC reliability makes this part a practical choice for engineers designing products where component consistency and availability are important considerations. Whether designing new equipment or supporting existing platforms, this capacitor represents a mainstream component solution for applications requiring stable, predictable performance across temperature and operating conditions typical of industrial and commercial use.
