Ceramic Capacitor
Stable, non-polarized, and have a wide range of capacitance values. Used in high-frequency applications like RF circuits.
Electrolytic Capacitor
High capacitance-voltage (CV) product per unit volume, polarized, and used for power supply filtering and energy storage in pulsing circuits.
Tantalum Capacitor
Stable, reliable, polarized, and used for military and aerospace applications due to stability and reliability over a wide temperature range.
Film Capacitor
Non-polarized, high precision, and stability, used in audio and radio frequency applications.
Supercapacitor
Very high capacitance, used for quick charge and discharge cycles like in memory backup systems and peak-load enhancers in batteries.
Silver Mica Capacitor
Accurate, stable, and used in high-frequency applications like RF transmitters and timers.
Metalized Film Capacitor
Self-healing properties, used for power applications such as in motors and LED lighting.
Trimming Capacitor
Adjustable, used for fine-tuning RF circuits and in phase-locked loops.
Paper Capacitor
Obsolete, used in historical electronic equipment, characterized by paper dielectrics impregnated with wax or oil.
Polyester Film Capacitor
Good dielectric properties, non-polarized, used in coupling and decoupling applications in consumer electronics.
