Suntan Axial Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor introduction

Suntan TS17A Axial Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor, it can be made 50VDC and 100VDC, from 100pF to 1uF. The leads can be bended for mounting purpose.

It is wide applicable in computer, data processor, telecommunication, industrial control, and instrumentation equipments, etc. And built by superior moisture and shock resistant epoxy coating, can be supplied in both bulk or tape and reel package for automatic insertion in printed circuit board.

We also offer good support for TS17R Radial Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor which can be made 50VDC and 100VDC, capacitance up to 22uF.

Suntan Axial Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor introduction

We noted a lot of customers are searching for high Voltage Chip Ceramic Capacitors in the market, such as 500V, 1KV, 2KV, 3KV, 4KV even 5KV. Suntan has a series to match customers demand very well. It is our TS18H High Voltage Chip Ceramic Capacitors. It is available with many different size like 0603, 0805, 1206, 1210, 1808, 1812 and 2225.

This type of Ceramic Capacitor is good for application of DC-DC converter, circuit filter vibration bell of telephone, electrograph and modem because it has very good solderability, and can operate at high voltage levels.

Ceramic Capacitors Knowledge

A ceramic capacitor is a two-terminal, non-polar device. The classical ceramic capacitor is the "disc capacitor". This device pre-dates the transistor and was used extensively in vacuum-tube equipment (e.g., radio receivers) from c.a 1930 through the 1950s, and in discrete transistor equipment from the 1950s through the 1980s. As of 2007, ceramic disc capacitors are in widespread use in electronic equipment, providing high capacity & small size at low price compared to other low value capacitor types.

Ceramic Capacitors offer a broad range of size vs. performance tradeoffs and are easily the most popular in numbers sold. Ceramic capacitors are available from < 1 pF to 1000s of uF.

Ceramic Capacitors Pros: The main virtue of ceramic capacitors are their relatively high dielectric constants. This can vary from C0G with a K of up to 60, which has excellent electrical properties but is relatively large and expensive, to ceramics with Ks in the tens of thousands but with very poor electrical properties. Large- value ceramics can replace electrolytic capacitors in high-frequency applications like switch-mode power supplies because of their lower ESR. Ceramic capacitors are especially suitable for surface mounting due to their heat resistance, mechanical integrity, and the ability to make them in very small packages at low cost, for portable equipment. This has greatly added to their usage. To some extent ceramics are slowly displacing other types of capacitors.

Ceramic Capacitors Cons: Low breakdown voltage means that the low-K ceramics (Class 1), the ones with the good electrical properties, have poor volumetric efficiency, and are usually found only in small values. High-K ceramics (Class 2 and higher) have poor electrical properties, which are highly dependent on temperature, voltage, and frequency, plus a significant aging rate. Unlike many other capacitors, ceramics have no self-healing mechanism. This means that manufacturers must maintain a high level of quality control over the dielectric. Ceramics are most cost affective in small sizes at present. Very large ceramics are a bit of a challenge, especially in SMD.
