Surface mount ceramic
multilayer capacitors Class 2, Y5V 16 V, 25 V and 50 V
FEATURES
Five standard sizes
High capacitance per unit volume
Supplied in tape on reel
Nickel-barrier end terminations.
APPLICATIONS
Consumer electronics, for example:
Tuners
Television receivers
Video recorders
All types of cameras
Mobile telephones.
DESCRIPTION
The capacitor consists of a
rectangularblockofceramicdielectric
in which a number of interleaved
metal electrodes are contained. This
structure gives rise to a high
capacitance per unit volume.
Theinnerelectrodesareconnectedto
the two terminations and finally
covered with a layer of plated tin
(NiSn). A cross section of the
structure is shown in Fig.1.
