Ceramic capacitors are a type of capacitor that utilizes ceramic materials in its construction, typically with electrodes made from metal. The ceramic material acts as the dielectric between the electrodes. They are commonly used in various applications due to their compact size and relatively low cost. The characteristics of ceramic capacitors can vary depending on the specific composition of the ceramic material. Some common types include: Multilayer ceramics, which offer high capacitance values in a small package Single-layer ceramics, suitable for applications where space is limited Ceramic chip capacitors, used in surface-mount technology (SMT) designs When selecting ceramic capacitors, consider factors such as the desired capacitance value, voltage rating, and temperature range.
