| Distinguishing ceramic from film capacitors electrically? |
| << < (4/6) > >> |
| mcovington:
OK, the ones I'm curious about are the blue ones here. (These are two from the same batch, showing both sides.) The red one is obviously film. The blue one looks a lot like a Murata ceramic capacitor, but I can't find "A5K" in the catalogue. |

MLCC ceramic. |
| schmitt trigger:
Agree, MLCC ceramics with leads. |
| mcovington:
How do you know? BTW, I just did some testing. Temperature stability is good (capacitance is down 1% when heated too hot to touch with a hot air gun) and there is no appreciable leakage even at 600 volts. Can anyone identify the manufacturer? |
| schmitt trigger:
As mentioned previously, a hunch based on volumetric efficiency. But could be wrong. But if you are willing to sacrifice a device in the name of knowledge, cut one in half. |
