Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors

Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are electronic components used to store and release electrical energy in circuits. They consist of multiple layers of ceramic material, usually made of barium titanate or other similar dielectric materials, sandwiched between alternating layers of metal electrodes. These layers are then stacked together and encapsulated in a protective outer coating. MLCCs are known for their high capacitance density, meaning they can store a relatively large amount of charge in a small physical volume. They are commonly used in electronic circuits for filtering, decoupling, timing, and other applications where a stable and reliable capacitor is required. MLCCs come in various sizes, capacitance values, voltage ratings, and temperature coefficients to suit different applications. They are widely used in consumer electronics, telecommunications, automotive electronics, industrial equipment, and many other electronic devices and systems.
