For ceramic capacitors, implement fast discharge methods due to low ESR, be aware of voltage coefficient effects on actual capacitance, and use temperature-compensated discharge circuits for high-stability types. Leakage Current: Key considerations for each capacitor type:
Ceramic disk capacitors are relatively inexpensive, stable units with metal oxide dielectrics generally rated in microfarad and picofarad ranges. An oxide dielectric can be produced in a small package, withstands higher voltages, and remains at a constant capacitance value with changing temperatures, voltages, and signal frequency.
A vacuum variable capacitor is a variable capacitor which uses a high vacuum as the dielectric instead of air or other insulating material. This allows for a higher voltage rating than an air dielectric using a smaller total volume.
A high degree of precision and control of process parameters is necessary to keep the scattering of electrical properties for today's very thin ceramic layers within specified limits. The voltage proof of ceramic capacitors is specified as rated voltage (UR).
The voltage proof of ceramic capacitors is specified as rated voltage (UR). This is the maximum DC voltage that may be continuously applied to the capacitor up to the upper temperature limit. This guaranteed voltage proof is tested according to the voltages shown in the adjacent table.
In a fully discharged capacitor, the voltage rises to 0.632V in in seconds. Conversely, a fully charged capacitor discharges to 0.368V out in seconds. In mathematical terms, establishing the relationship between the three measurable quantities enables the measurement of any one in terms of the remaining two.
