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. What is the difference between ceramic capacitors and electrolytic capacitors?
Polarity: Ceramic capacitors are non-polar, while electrolytic capacitors are polar.
Capacity range: Electrolytic capacitors generally offer larger capacitance values.
Stability: Ceramic capacitors are more stable, especially when the temperature changes.
Lifespan: Ceramic capacitors have a longer lifespan because there is no liquid electrolyte to dry out. -
3. Does the orientation of ceramic capacitors matter?
Ceramic capacitors are non-polar, so the mounting orientation does not affect their function.

4. How do I know if my ceramic capacitor is bad?
Visual inspection: Check for cracks, bulges, or other physical damage.
Multimeter test: Measure the capacitance value to see if it is close to the nominal value, and check for shorts or opens.
