DESCRIPTION
Climatic category (IEC 60068)
The capacitor consists of a
Notes
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.
1. Non E12 values are available on request.
2. Also applicable for applications up to 63 V.
The inner electrodes are connected to
the two terminations, either by silver
palladium (AgPd) alloy in the ratio
65 : 35, or silver dipped with a barrier
layer of plated nickel and finally
covered with a layer of plated tin
(NiSn). A cross section of the
terminations
electrodes
structure is shown in Fig.1.
