A concise guide to ceramic capacitor types march 30 2018 by robert keim this technical brief attempts to dispel some of the fog that surrounds the three character cryptograms used to describe ceramic caps.

From left to right. How to calculate the value of ceramic non polarized capacitors. 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. Standard capacitor values color codes over time a series of standard capacitor values have evolved just as with resistors and inductors.

Below is a very useful chart for calculation the right value of ceramic non polarized capacitors. Often for example a ceramic capacitor may be given as a value of 100nf. Ceramic capacitors are non polarized and may be used in ac or dc circuits. There are special codes and marking on capacitor which tell about the value of capacitor.

If used in circuits with electrolytic capacitors it is often interesting to realise that this is 0 1µf. Ceramic capacitors are usually made with very small capacitance values typically between 1nf and 1µf although values up to 100µf are possible. Standard ceramic capacitor values change in multiples of 10 12 15 18 22 27 33 39 47 56 68 82. These are small nonpolarized caps with yellow blob for their body.

Capacitors are available in a huge range of package styles voltage and current handling capacities dielectric types quality factors and many other parameters. Typical capacitor values range form 1pf to 0 22uf for ceramic disks and up to 10uf for multi layer ceramic chips.
