Key Features
- 100 V DC working voltage accommodates high-rail decoupling on 48 V and 60 V DC bus designs with ample voltage margin
- 0.1 µF (100 nF) in 1206 package provides bulk bypass capacitance for power supply filtering without requiring tantalum or electrolytic types
- Z5U dielectric offers high volumetric efficiency, delivering large capacitance in a compact 1206 footprint at low cost
- ±20% tolerance is acceptable for bypass and decoupling applications where exact capacitance value is not critical
- RoHS compliant construction suits environmentally regulated consumer, industrial, and automotive products
Applications
The 12061E104MAT2A is widely used as a 100 nF bypass capacitor on power supply rails in industrial control boards and switchmode power converter outputs operating up to 100 V DC, where the 1206 body provides easy hand-soldering accessibility during prototyping. Its 100 V rating and Z5U dielectric make it effective for decoupling ICs on 48 V motor driver boards and PLC I/O modules. Lighting driver and power electronics designs also employ this MLCC for snubber and filter roles where cost-effective 0.1 µF at 100 V is required in a standard SMT footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions
What voltage and capacitance does the AVX 12061E104MAT2A provide, and what rails does the 100 V rating support?
The 12061E104MAT2A provides 100 nF (0.1 µF) capacitance at 100 V DC working voltage with Z5U dielectric. The 100 V rating gives comfortable margin on 48 V DC industrial bus rails and 60 V telecom supplies, where MLCC voltage derating rules typically require a 2x safety margin. Designers can use a single 100 V device to bypass power rails up to 50 V after applying a 50% derating, covering most 24 V and 48 V industrial control applications.
What does the Z5U dielectric in the 12061E104MAT2A mean for capacitance stability over temperature?
Z5U is an EIA class 2 dielectric rated for 10°C to 85°C with a capacitance tolerance spread of +22% to -56% from the 25°C nominal value. This means the 100 nF nominal capacitance of the 12061E104MAT2A can fall to roughly 44 nF at temperature extremes. Z5U is therefore appropriate for bypass and decoupling applications where a minimum capacitance of 40 nF to 50 nF is sufficient, but should not be used in precision timing, filter, or resonant circuits requiring stable capacitance values.
Is the 1206 package of the 12061E104MAT2A practical for hand-assembly prototyping compared to 0603 alternatives?
Yes. The 1206 package measures 3.2x1.6 mm with a 0.85 mm pad width, making it straightforward to hand-solder with a standard 0.8 mm solder tip without the risk of bridging adjacent pads. An equivalent 100 nF 100 V ceramic capacitor in 0603 exists but requires a 1.0x0.5 mm body, which is significantly harder to handle without tweezers and magnification. The 1206 1206 footprint also gives better mechanical robustness in environments with thermal cycling or vibration.
When is the 12061E104MAT2A a cost-effective choice over a 100 nF X7R MLCC at the same voltage rating?
The Z5U dielectric in the 12061E104MAT2A typically costs less than an equivalent X7R in 1206 at 100 V because Z5U formulations require lower sintering temperatures and simpler raw materials. If the design only needs bypass capacitance on a 48 V rail with no concern for capacitance at -20°C or above 70°C, and the end product does not require AEC-Q200 or military temperature certification, the Z5U 12061E104MAT2A is a direct lower-cost alternative that delivers the same nominal 100 nF at room temperature.
