12105A202FAT2A

The AVX 12105A202FAT2A is a film capacitor designed for general-purpose applications in industrial electronics, power supply circuits, and signal conditioning systems. As a component from AVX's established film capacitor lineup, this part represents a reliable choice for engineers who need stable capacitive behavior across a range of operating conditions. Film capacitors like this model use a thin plastic film dielectric material, typically polyester or polypropylene, which provides inherent advantages over ceramic alternatives in certain applications. The film construction delivers excellent frequency stability, low distortion characteristics, and good performance in AC circuits. These properties make film capacitors particularly valuable in audio equipment, switching power supplies, EMI filtering networks, and coupling/decoupling applications where maintaining signal integrity is important. The 12105A series designation indicates this is part of AVX's established product family, meaning it follows proven design standards and manufacturing processes familiar to many design engineers. The part numbering structure (12105A202FAT2A) encodes key specifications including the capacitive value and voltage rating, though exact parameters should be verified through the full component documentation. This standardized approach makes it easier for engineers to identify compatible alternatives and maintain design consistency across multiple products or revisions. Film capacitors in this category are commonly specified in industrial control systems, inverter circuits, and applications requiring long operational life and stable performance over extended temperature ranges. They are particularly suitable for applications where space constraints are less critical than performance and reliability. The rugged construction and resistance to mechanical and electrical stress make them ideal for harsh industrial environments where components experience vibration, temperature cycling, or exposure to varying humidity levels. Engineers typically select this specific part number when their design requires the exact capacitive value, voltage rating, and physical package dimensions that the 12105A202FAT2A provides. The AVX brand reputation for consistent quality and availability across global supply chains makes this part an attractive option for manufacturers who need reliable sourcing for volume production or field service applications. Replacement considerations should account for the specific performance characteristics of film capacitors versus other dielectric types. While ceramic capacitors may offer smaller package sizes, and electrolytic capacitors may provide higher capacitance density, the 12105A202FAT2A's film construction offers distinct advantages in stability and AC performance that may be essential for certain circuit designs.
