0805VC561MAT2A

The 0805VC561MAT2A is a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufactured by AVX, housed in an 0805 surface-mount package. This compact form factor measures 2.0mm x 1.25mm, making it ideal for space-constrained circuit designs where board real estate is at a premium. The part is designed for general-purpose coupling, decoupling, and filtering applications across a wide range of industrial and commercial electronic equipment. Multilayer ceramic capacitors like this are among the most widely used passive components in modern electronics due to their small size, low cost, and reliable performance. The 0805 package represents a standard size in the MLCC family, offering a practical balance between miniaturization and ease of handling during automated assembly. This makes it suitable for high-volume production environments where consistent manufacturing yields and component availability are important considerations. The VC series designation indicates this is part of AVX's general-purpose ceramic capacitor line. Components in this family are typically found in consumer electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, power supplies, and automotive applications. They perform essential functions such as filtering high-frequency noise, stabilizing voltage rails, and coupling AC signals between circuit stages. Engineers commonly specify AVX MLCCs for their reputation for consistent quality and availability through established distribution channels. The 0805 package size is particularly valued because it represents a sweet spot for many design teams—smaller than older 1206 packages but larger than more fragile 0402 components, offering good manufacturability without requiring specialized handling equipment. When deciding between capacitor options, design engineers consider package size constraints, required electrical performance, operating environment, and supply chain reliability. The 0805VC561MAT2A, as part of a mainstream ceramic capacitor family, provides predictable performance for standard applications. Its widespread use in countless circuit designs means PCB assembly partners have extensive familiarity with the package, reducing production risk. The AVX brand designation provides confidence in component traceability and compliance documentation, which matters for applications requiring strict quality assurance or regulatory documentation. For engineers working on updates to established designs or designing new products with conventional specifications, this part offers a dependable solution that meets typical industrial performance requirements without the cost premium associated with specialized variants.
