1. Does the orientation of ceramic capacitors matter?
Ceramic capacitors are non-polar, so the mounting orientation does not affect their function.
-
2. Why do ceramic capacitors short?
Overvoltage: Exceeding the rated voltage may cause internal breakdown.
Mechanical damage: External impact or pressure.
Manufacturing defects: Problems with the internal structure. -
3. Should ceramic capacitors have continuity?
A properly functioning ceramic capacitor should show a certain capacitance value between its pins, not completely on or off.
-
4. Can ceramic capacitors be used for audio?
Ceramic capacitors can be used in audio circuits, but care needs to be taken to select the right type to avoid introducing unnecessary noise or distortion.
