Capacitor

The MLCC is the most prevalent type of capacitor today. It is primarily made upOf interleaved layers of dielectric (insulating) and conductive materials. TheDielectric material is generally a type of Titanate (Barium Titanate for example) And the conductive material is usually Palladium or one of its alloys such asPalladium-Silver. Within the MLCC industry, the conductive layers are referred toAs internal electrodes. External electrodes or terminations provide the means forPhysical and electrical connection of the MLCC to the outside world; that is thePrinted circuit board or the Hybrid IC module. Over the last decade new technologies have enabled the MLCC manufacturers toFollow the miniaturization trend dictated by smaller and smaller electronic devicesSuch as cellular telephones, computers, camcorders, to a point where capacitorsThe size of a thumb nail are now no bigger than a grain of sand.
