FEATURES
Five standard sizes
High capacitance per unit volume
Supplied in tape on reel
NiSn terminations.
APPLICATIONS
Consumer electronics, for
example:
Tuners
Television receivers
Video recorders
All types of cameras
Mobile telephones.
DESCRIPTION
The capacitor consists of a
rectangular block of ceramic
dielectric in which a number of
interleaved metal electrodes are
contained. This structure gives rise
to a high capacitance per unit
volume.
The inner electrodes are connected
to the two terminations and finally
covered with a layer of plated tin
(NiSn). A cross section of the
structure is shown in Fig.1.
