180pF 50V Ceramic Capacitor

A ceramic capacitor is a type of capacitor that uses a ceramic material as the dielectric. It is one of the most commonly used capacitors in electronic circuits, ideal for storing small amounts of electrical energy.

Characteristics:

• Dielectric Material: Ceramic (often barium titanate-based)
• Small Size: Suitable for compact, low-capacitance applications
• Capacitance Range: Typically from picofarads (pF) to microfarads (µF)
• Low ESR: Stable performance at high frequencies
• Non-Polarized: Can be connected in either direction in a circuit

Advantages:

• Inexpensive and widely available
• Good for high-frequency applications
• Wide range of available capacitance values

Common Applications:

• Bypass and filtering circuits
• RF (Radio Frequency) circuits
• Oscillators and timer circuits
• Noise suppression (decoupling)
