Ceramic Capacitors

Ceramic Dielectric Capacitors

Ceramic capacitors (MLCC) consist of wafer-thin oxide ceramic layers that serve as a dielectric. Thanks to the oxide ceramic this type of capacitor has a high dielectric strength and is therefore suitable for high voltages. Known designs are:

• Disc capacitors
• Tube condensers
• Pearl capcitors
• Through Capacitors

Color dots indicate the type of ceramic and the connection side of the inner lining. Ceramic capacitors are further divided according to the size of the dielectric constant:

• Type-1 Low Dielectric Constant (NDK Capacitor)
• Type-2 High Dielectric Constant (HDK Capacitor)
