Polyester Film Capacitor
Good dielectric properties, non-polarized, used in coupling and decoupling applications in consumer electronics.
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.
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.
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.
Silver Mica Capacitor
Accurate, stable, and used in high-frequency applications like RF transmitters and timers.
Tantalum Capacitor
Stable, reliable, polarized, and used for military and aerospace applications due to stability and reliability over a wide temperature range.
Metalized Film Capacitor
Self-healing properties, used for power applications such as in motors and LED lighting.
