Class 1 and class 2.
Ceramic capacitor types.
Within the ceramic capacitor family there are many forms of ceramic dielectric that are used.
Ceramic capacitor definition a ceramic capacitor is a capacitor which uses a ceramic material as the dielectric.
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 disc capacitors are made by coating a ceramic disc with silver contacts on both sides as shown above illustrates.
Different types of ceramic 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.
The ceramic capacitor gains its name from the fact that it uses ceramic materials for its dielectric.
Common types include c0g np0 x7r y5v z5u although there are many more.
Non polarity device means the capacitor has no polarities.
Characteristics precision and tolerances.
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.
There are two classes of ceramic capacitors available today.
