Abstract

An interlaboratory test on room temperature measurement of unencapsulated multilayer ceramic capacitors (commonly known as chip capacitors) was conducted under the sponsorship of ASTM Committee F01 on Electronics. Results show that a well-defined method of test is needed to get agreement among mesurements of capacitance and dissipation factors for this type of capacitor.

Keywords:
capacitance, dissipation factor, ceramic capacitors, chip capacitors, multilayer ceramic capacitors, monolithic ceramic capacitors, temperature characteristics of capacitance
