1206YC393JAT2A

The 1206YC393JAT2A is a ceramic capacitor manufactured by AVX, designed for general-purpose applications in electronic circuits. This component belongs to the 1206 package family, which is one of the most widely used surface-mount device (SMD) sizes in modern electronics manufacturing. The 1206 form factor provides an excellent balance between component density and ease of handling, making it suitable for both automated assembly processes and manual rework scenarios. Ceramic capacitors like this part are fundamental passive components used to store electrical energy, filter signals, and stabilize power supplies across countless applications. The 1206 package size makes this capacitor particularly versatile for mid-range capacitance applications where engineers need reliable performance without requiring the larger physical footprint of bigger package sizes. These components are constructed using ceramic dielectric material, which offers good stability and cost-effectiveness compared to alternatives like film or electrolytic capacitors. This capacitor is commonly found in industrial control systems, consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, automotive circuits, and general-purpose power management applications. Engineers frequently specify ceramic capacitors in this package size for decoupling and bypass functions near integrated circuits, where they help suppress noise and maintain stable voltage levels. The 1206 package is also popular in filter circuits, timing applications, and energy storage in low-power applications. The 1206YC series from AVX represents a broad family of general-purpose ceramic capacitors that maintain consistent performance across typical operating conditions found in most commercial and light industrial applications. These components are designed to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses of standard PCB assembly processes, including reflow soldering, and deliver stable performance over extended service life. Engineers might select this specific part number when they need a dependable, proven ceramic capacitor solution that balances performance, availability, and cost. The AVX brand reputation for quality manufacturing ensures consistent part-to-part performance, which is critical in applications requiring high reliability. The 1206 package remains the de facto standard in many design specifications, giving this component broad compatibility with existing circuit designs and established supply chains. As a surface-mount component, the 1206YC393JAT2A is compatible with modern electronics manufacturing equipment and processes, making it ideal for both prototype development and high-volume production environments.
