Different types of dielectric materials exhibit varying responses to electric fields due to their distinct polarization mechanisms. This leads to differences in capacitance, dielectric loss, and stability under different conditions. Capacitors made from these materials vary in performance, especially when it comes to temperature stability. Based on this, ceramic capacitors are generally divided into two categories: Class I and Class II. Class I ceramics, such as NPO, offer excellent stability, while Class II ceramics, like X7R or Y5V, provide higher capacitance but with less stable characteristics.
What defines a Class I ceramic capacitor? These capacitors are typically non-ferroelectric or paraelectric, meaning they have minimal temperature dependence. They often contain titanium dioxide (TiO₂) as the main component, resulting in a low dielectric constant (usually below 150). Some Class I ceramics are modified by adding small amounts of ferroelectric materials like CaTiO₃ or SrTiO₃ to improve their temperature compensation properties. Despite this, they maintain low loss, high insulation resistance, and excellent stability—making them ideal for high-frequency circuits, oscillators, and applications requiring precise capacitance values.
How is the temperature coefficient of Class I ceramics expressed? The temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) is usually very small, measured in parts per million per degree Celsius (ppm/°C). For example, C0G represents a temperature coefficient of 0 ppm/°C with a tolerance of ±30 ppm/°C. Other codes, like U2J, indicate more significant temperature variation. These codes help engineers select the right capacitor for specific applications where stability is crucial.
What does the code C0G mean? The "C" in C0G indicates a base temperature coefficient of 0 ppm/°C, and the "G" specifies a tolerance of ±30 ppm/°C. This means the actual TCC could be between -30 and +30 ppm/°C. Similarly, other codes like NPO represent the same level of stability but follow different standard naming conventions. In military standards, NPO corresponds to what is known as C0G in commercial standards. This makes C0G and NPO essentially the same type of capacitor, just labeled differently based on the standard being used.
What is a Class II ceramic capacitor? Unlike Class I capacitors, Class II ceramics are ferroelectric, meaning their capacitance changes significantly with temperature. They have higher dielectric constants, allowing for larger capacitance values in smaller packages. However, this comes at the cost of reduced stability and higher dielectric losses. These capacitors are commonly used in applications where high capacitance is needed, such as power supply filtering, coupling, and decoupling, where minor variations in capacitance are acceptable.
What's the difference between X5R, X7R, Y5V, and Z5U? Each of these codes refers to a specific temperature range and capacitance variation. For instance, X7R operates between -55°C and +125°C, with a maximum capacitance change of ±15%. X5R has a narrower range (-55°C to +85°C), also with ±15% variation. Y5V and Z5U have even more limited operating ranges, with Y5V working between -30°C and +85°C and Z5U between +10°C and +85°C. However, their capacitance can vary by up to -82% (Y5V) and -56% (Z5U), making them less suitable for precision applications.
