Ceramic capacitors, often referenced as CAP or Ceramic Capacitor in technical contexts, are a type of passive electronic component used to store electrical energy in the form of an electric field. They consist of two electrodes separated by a ceramic material, which acts as the dielectric. The primary function of ceramic capacitors is to filter, regulate, and bypass power supply voltages, ensuring stable operation within electronic circuits. They are widely utilized due to their high capacitance values at low cost and relatively small size. Ceramic capacitors can be found in various applications across consumer electronics, automotive systems, and industrial equipment.
