Ceramic capacitors are a type of capacitor that utilize ceramic materials as their dielectric, which is the insulating material separating the conductive plates in the capacitor. The main characteristics and features of ceramic capacitors include: Advantages: • Low cost compared to other types of capacitors • Small size due to the compact design of ceramic capacitors • High temperature resistance making them suitable for use in high-temperature environments • Non-polarized, meaning they can be used in either orientation • Available in a wide range of capacitance values and voltage ratings Applications: • Filter circuits • Power supplies • Audio equipment • Electronics that require compact designs
