Ceramic capacitors, commonly referred to as Cer-cap, are a type of capacitor that utilizes ceramic materials in their construction. They are known for being relatively inexpensive and having a low level of loss due to the properties of ceramics. These components are frequently used within electronic circuits to filter out unwanted frequencies or to provide decoupling between different circuit sections. The choice of capacitance value, along with other factors such as voltage rating, is crucial in selecting the appropriate ceramic capacitor for a particular application.
