Ceramic capacitors are the most prevalent types of capacitors found in most electrical instruments because they are more dependable and less expensive to produce.

These capacitors are believed to exist in a non-polarized version utilized in numerous industries and are made of ceramic or porcelain discs. Because of its low conductivity, the ceramic material is recognized to be a great dielectric and an efficient supporter of electrostatic fields.

Ceramic disc capacitors are made by covering a ceramic disc on both sides with silver contacts. These devices can be built from numerous layers to produce higher capacitances. Ceramic disc capacitors are typically through-hole components that are becoming obsolete owing to their size. If capacitance values allow, MLCCs are utilized instead. Ceramic disc capacitors have capacitance values ranging from 10pF to 100F and voltage ratings ranging from 16 volts to 15 kV and higher.
