Measured at 25 C, 1 V and 1 kHz, using a four-gauge method. Video recorders All types of cameras Mobile telephones. terminations DESCRIPTION The capacitor consists of a rectangular block of ceramic dielectric in which a number of electrodes interleaved metal electrodes are contained. This structure gives rise to a high capacitance per unit volume. The inner electrodes are connected MLB457 to the two terminations and finally covered with a layer of plated tin ceramic material (NiSn). A cross section of the structure is shown in Fig.1.
