1. Why are ceramic capacitors better?
Small size: suitable for high-density circuit board design.
Good temperature resistance: can work over a wide temperature range.
High reliability: no electrolyte, so it is not easy to age.
Good frequency response: suitable for high-frequency applications.
Low ESR: low equivalent series resistance, which helps to improve efficiency. -
2. Is ceramic capacitor AC or DC?
Ceramic capacitors can be used in both AC and DC circuits. They have no polarity, so they can be installed at will.
-
3. What is the difference between Class 1 and Class 2 ceramic capacitors?
Class 1: has high accuracy and stable temperature coefficient, suitable for precision circuits.
Class 2: has higher capacitance value, but larger temperature coefficient and tolerance, suitable for general applications. -
4. Which side of a ceramic capacitor is the positive side?
Ceramic capacitors are non-polarized, so there is no positive or negative side.
