A ceramic capacitor is a fixed value capacitor where the ceramic material acts as the dielectric it is constructed of two or more alternating layers of ceramic and a metal layer acting as the electrodes the composition of the ceramic material defines the electrical behavior and therefore applications.
Ceramic capacitor types.
The ceramic capacitor is a non polarity device which is found commonly in every electrical device and the dielectric material that is used in the capacitor is a ceramic material.
Ceramic disc capacitors are made by coating a ceramic disc with silver contacts on both sides as shown above illustrates.
The two most common types are multi layer ceramic capacitors and ceramic disc capacitors.
Ceramic disc capacitors have a capacitance value of about10pf to 100μf with a wide variety of voltage ratings between 16v to 15 kv and more.
Within the ceramic capacitor family there are many forms of ceramic dielectric that are used.
Common types include c0g np0 x7r y5v z5u although there are many more.
Class 1 and class 2.
Non polarity device means the capacitor has no polarities.
Ceramic capacitor definition a ceramic capacitor is a capacitor which uses a ceramic material as the dielectric.
Different types of ceramic capacitors.
Characteristics precision and tolerances.
There are two classes of ceramic capacitors available today.
Following is the symbol for ceramic capacitor.
