2004 Jul 06 Rev.10 2 www.yageo.com
FEATURES
• Six standard sizes
• High capacitance per unit volume
• Supplied in tape on reel or in bulk
case (case sizes 0402, 0603 and
0805 only)
• For high frequency applications
• NiSn terminations.
APPLICATIONS
• Consumer electronics
• Telecommunications
• Automotive
• Data processing.
DESCRIPTION
The capacitor consists of a
rectangular block of ceramic
dielectric in which a number of
interleaved precious metal
electrodes are contained. This
structure gives rise to a high
capacitance per unit volume.
The inner electrodes are connected
to the two terminations, silver dipped
with a barrier layer of plated nickel
and finally covered with a layer of
plated tin (NiSn). A cross section of
the structure is shown in Fig.1.
