A ceramic capacitor is a type of capacitor that utilizes ceramic as the dielectric material. The ceramic dielectric allows for high capacitance values within a compact size, making these capacitors ideal for space-limited applications. Ceramic capacitors come in various shapes and sizes, providing versatility for a range of applications.
The ceramic capacitors’ dielectric classes can help you choose the right one for your application. Different Dielectric Classes: Highly stable with respect to temperature change, voltage, and frequency. Exhibit low loss. Used in resonant circuits, filters, and oscillators. They possess a non-linear temperature coefficient.
These are some limitations of ceramic capacitors: They offer less capacitance value to a few microfarads. The dielectric in them can be damaged over high voltages. They may have voltage-dependent capacitance changes. Due to the construction using a ceramic material, there is a risk of cracking or damage in case of mechanical loss.
In addition, power electronics applications are an emerging market in which ceramic capacitors will play an increasing role through improved breakdown strength, enhanced dielectric stability in harsh environments, and innovative packaging.
Class 1 ceramic materials (e.g., NPO, COG) have very low temperature coefficients, meaning that their capacitance varies very little over temperature. They also have low dielectric constants, meaning that capacitors built with class 1 materials have very small capacitance per volume.
They have capacitance values in the range of 10pF to 100μF. Ceramic Chip Capacitors: These ceramic chip capacitors are widely used in consumer electronics, communication devices, and also in different digital applications. Ceramic capacitors are categorized into multiple dielectric classes based on the type of dielectric material used.
