• Other types of capacitors are available (polyproplene, mica, trimmer, tantalum capacitors, aluminum electrolytic, film, chip capacitors and more)

  Industrial controls

  Telecom devices

  Power supplies

   LAN/WAN interfaces

• Uses nickel (Ni) for both the internal and external electrodes
• Improves the solderability and heat resistance characteristics
• Completely eliminates migration and raises the level of reliability significantly
• Low equivalent series resistance (ESR) provides excellent noise absorption characteristics
• Compared to tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors, these ceramic capacitors offer a number of excellent functions
