Ceramic SMD capacitors

Capacitors

Capacitors are electrical components that are the basis of any electrical circuit. They are two electrically charged conductors separated by a dielectric such as paper, plastic, glass, air, or other material that is a weak conductor. A field is created between the two wires in which electrical energy can be stored. This conserved electrical energy can be used in compensating for dips in the electromagnetic field. The capacity of stored electrical energy is measured with the unit farad.

Multilayer SMD capacitors

Ceramic capacitors are a type of electronic elements in which one of the two plates, performing the role of anode and cathode, is a non-metallic substance called electrolyte, in this case ceramics are used, hence the name. The dielectric of ceramic capacitors is made of special multi-layered ceramics in a rectangular shape of the highest quality, COG or X7R, intended for surface SMD mounting. The material of these capacitors features a low dissipation factor and small capacitance tolerance, but with high temperature resistance.

Polarized mount, small capacity

Ceramic capacitors are specific to the small volume of energy charge they can store. This makes them extremely convenient for embedding in electrical devices such as generators, power supplies, adapters, frequency regulators and a variety of electronics and equipment. It is important to note that, unlike other capacitors, ceramic do not have polarity, that is, they do not have a strict dependence on the way of installation, and this makes them easier to install and safer.
