What is Trusted Installer?

​

1. Ceramic Capacitors:

   • These are commonly used capacitors.

   • The dielectric material in ceramic capacitors is, well, ceramic!

   • They are non-polar devices, meaning they can be used in any direction in a circuit.

   • Ceramic capacitors find applications in various electronic devices.

2. Film Capacitors:

   • Film capacitors use a thin film of dielectric material.

   • They are available in different types, such as polyester (Mylar), polypropylene, and polycarbonate.

   • Film capacitors are non-polarized and can be used in both AC and DC circuits.

   • They are suitable for applications requiring high stability and low losses.

3. Power Film Capacitors:

   • These capacitors are designed for high-power applications.

   • They have excellent self-healing properties and can handle high voltages.

   • Power film capacitors are commonly used in power electronics and motor drives

4. Electrolytic Capacitors:

   • Electrolytic capacitors are polarized and often referred to as “electrolytics.”

   • They achieve high capacitance density.

   • Aluminum electrolytic capacitors and tantalum capacitors are common examples.

   • They are widely used in power supply circuits and audio systems.

5. Paper Capacitors:

   • Paper capacitors use paper as the dielectric material.

   • They were more common in older electronic equipment.

   • Nowadays, other types have largely replaced them due to better performance.

6. Mica Capacitors:

   • Mica capacitors use mica sheets as the dielectric.

   • They are stable, reliable, and can handle high temperatures.

   • Mica capacitors find applications in radio frequency (RF) circuits.
