0805VC561KAT2A

The 0805VC561KAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, housed in the widely-used 0805 surface-mount package. This compact component measures 0.08 inches by 0.05 inches, making it ideal for space-constrained PCB designs in modern electronics where board real estate is at a premium. The part designation indicates this capacitor is from AVX's VC series, a well-established line of general-purpose ceramic capacitors suitable for a broad range of industrial and consumer applications. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this one serve as fundamental building blocks in electronic circuits, providing energy storage, filtering, decoupling, and signal coupling functions. The 0805 package size represents an excellent balance between miniaturization and ease of hand assembly or rework, making it popular across manufacturing environments ranging from high-volume surface-mount production to specialized industrial equipment assembly. The VC series from AVX is engineered for general-purpose applications where reliability and consistent performance across standard operating conditions are required. These capacitors are commonly found in power supply circuits where they filter ripple and provide transient current supply, in signal conditioning networks where they couple or block DC while passing AC signals, and in timing circuits where stable capacitance values are essential. Their construction using multiple ceramic layers allows for the integration of reasonable capacitance values in a small footprint. Engineers and procurement specialists typically specify the 0805VC561KAT2A for applications requiring a component that offers proven reliability, established supply chain support, and cost-effectiveness compared to some specialty alternatives. The 0805 package remains one of the most standardized sizes in the industry, meaning design flexibility and manufacturing familiarity are maximized. AVX's VC series has extensive track record in industrial environments, telecommunications infrastructure, consumer electronics, and automotive applications where long-term availability and consistent performance matter. This component is particularly valuable in designs where designers need to minimize board complexity while maintaining adequate filtering and energy storage capabilities. The combination of the 0805 package, AVX's manufacturing heritage, and the VC series' proven performance characteristics makes this part a practical choice for engineers designing cost-sensitive systems that cannot compromise on reliability or component availability. Whether used in legacy system maintenance, high-volume new designs, or specialized industrial control applications, this capacitor provides straightforward, dependable performance for standard circuit requirements.
