12101C155KAT2A

The AVX 12101C155KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designed for general-purpose filtering, bypassing, and coupling applications across industrial electronics, telecommunications, and consumer device assemblies. This component represents a reliable choice from AVX's established ceramic capacitor portfolio, engineered to meet the high-volume needs of electronics manufacturers requiring consistent performance in demanding environments. Multilayer ceramic capacitors function as fundamental passive components in modern circuitry, storing and releasing electrical charge to smooth power distribution, filter noise, and decouple signal paths. The 12101C series is structured in a chip form factor optimized for surface-mount assembly, allowing manufacturers to achieve compact board layouts while maintaining straightforward pick-and-place production compatibility. This makes the part particularly valuable in applications where space constraints demand miniaturized component packages without sacrificing electrical performance. The "C" designation in the part number indicates this capacitor operates within a specified voltage and temperature classification, typical of general industrial-grade components. AVX manufactures these capacitors using advanced dielectric materials and construction techniques to deliver stable capacitance values across temperature ranges commonly encountered in field applications. Engineers often specify components from this series in power supply decoupling networks, signal conditioning circuits, and filtering stages where moderate performance requirements can be met without premium-grade specifications. This part finds use in numerous application domains: industrial control systems, audio equipment, switching power supplies, automotive electronics, and networking infrastructure. The ceramic dielectric material provides excellent frequency response characteristics, making these capacitors suitable for both DC blocking and AC filtering functions. Their inherent low equivalent series resistance (ESR) makes them effective at absorbing transient voltage spikes and maintaining stable operating conditions in circuits subject to rapid current changes. Engineers typically select the 12101C155KAT2A when seeking a balance between cost efficiency and proven reliability. AVX's manufacturing reputation ensures consistent quality and reproducible electrical characteristics across production batches, reducing design risk in high-volume manufacturing scenarios. The component's established presence in the market also supports long-term supply chain stability, an important consideration for products with extended lifecycle requirements. For applications requiring detailed electrical specifications, thermal performance data, or reliability information, consulting AVX's technical documentation and qualification test results will provide comprehensive guidance on whether this component meets your specific circuit requirements. Industrial buyers benefit from understanding their application's exact voltage, frequency, and temperature demands to ensure optimal component selection.
