Ceramic Capacitors

The various shapes and styles of Ceramic capacitors

As of 2007, ceramic disc capacitors are in widespread use in electronic equipments, providing high capacity and small size at low price compared to other low value capacitor types.

Ceramic capacitors come in various shapes and styles, including:

• Disc, resin coated, with through-hole leads.
• Multilayer rectangular block, surface mount.
• Bare leadless disc, sits in a slot in the PCB and is soldered in place, used for UHF applications.
• Tube shape, not popular now.

Suntan (St Trademark) ceramic capacitors has various shapes and styles,Let me introduce to you.

• TS15 is Ceramic Disc Capacitor;
• TS16 is High Voltage Ceramic Capacitor;
• TS16L is Low D.F., Disc(A And B Series);
• TS16M is Mini Type Ceramic Capacitor;
• TS17 is Multilayer (mono) Axial & Radial;
• TS18 is Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor - SMD;
• TS18H is High Voltage Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor - SMD.

Ceramic Capacitors

Ceramic capacitors offer a broad range of size vs. performance tradeoffs and are easily the most popular in numbers sold.  Ceramic capacitors are available from < 1 pF to 1000s of uF.

Pros: The main virtue of Ceramic capacitors are their relatively high dielectric constants.   This can vary from C0G with a K of up to 60, which has excellent electrical properties but is relatively large and expensive, to ceramics with Ks in the tens of thousands but with very poor electrical properties.  Large- value ceramics can replace electrolytic capacitors in high-frequency applications like switch-mode power supplies because of their lower ESR.  Ceramic capacitors are especially suitable for surface mounting due to their heat resistance, mechanical integrity, and the ability to make them in very small packages at low cost, for portable equipment.  This has greatly added to their usage.  To some extent ceramics are slowly displacing other types of capacitors. 

Cons: Low breakdown voltage means that the low-K ceramics (Class 1), the ones with the good electrical properties, have poor volumetric efficiency, and are usually found only in small values.  High-K ceramics (Class 2 and higher) have poor electrical properties, which are highly dependent on temperature, voltage, and frequency, plus a significant aging rate.  Unlike many other capacitors, ceramics have no self-healing mechanism.  This means that manufacturers must maintain a high level of quality control over the dielectric.  Ceramics are most cost affective in small sizes at present.  Very large ceramics are a bit of a challenge, especially in SMD.
