Ceramic capacitors are a type of capacitor that utilize ceramic as the primary component in their dielectric material, which is responsible for storing electric charge. They have various applications across multiple industries due to their compact size and relatively low cost compared to other types of capacitors. Key characteristics include: Dielectric material made from ceramic Compact design Relatively affordable pricing These features make ceramic capacitors a popular choice for use in many electronic devices, including radio frequency (RF) circuits, filters, and resonant circuits.
