1. Can I replace film capacitors with ceramic capacitors?

In many cases, ceramic capacitors can be used to replace film capacitors, especially when smaller size and lower cost are required. However, it is important to note that ceramic capacitors may have different temperature coefficients and self-healing characteristics, which may affect performance in a specific application.
2. Why are mica capacitors so expensive?

Mica capacitors are expensive because of their excellent electrical properties (such as very low dissipation factor and stable temperature coefficient) and their high production costs.
3. Why do ceramic capacitors make noise?

Some types of ceramic capacitors (particularly Class 2 ceramic capacitors) produce micro-vibrations when the voltage changes due to their material properties, which in turn cause faint mechanical noise.
4. Do ceramic capacitors have a shelf life?

Ceramic capacitors themselves do not have a strict shelf life, but after long-term storage, testing is recommended to confirm their performance.
