1. What are ceramic capacitors used for?
Ceramic capacitors are widely used in various electronic devices, mainly for:
Coupling and decoupling: used in circuits to isolate DC signals while transmitting AC signals.
Filtering: remove noise from the power supply or smooth the output voltage.
Resonant circuit: such as oscillators in radio frequency (RF) circuits.
Temperature compensation: some types of ceramic capacitors have temperature coefficients that can be used to stabilize circuit performance.
Bypass: provide a low impedance path for high-frequency signals, thereby reducing the impact on other parts. -
2. Do ceramic capacitors deteriorate over time?
While ceramic capacitors are relatively stable, their capacitance value may decrease slightly over time, especially under extreme environmental conditions. However, this change is usually small and will not significantly affect most applications.
-
3. 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. -
4. 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.
