High purity of electrodes for very low and repeatable ESR
Highly pure, low-K dielectric for high breakdown field, high insulation resistance and low losses to frequencies above 40GHz
Very tight dimensional control for uniform inductance, unit to unit
Very tight capacitance tolerances for high frequency signal applications
Gold termination versions available

0201 Range

Nickel barrier terminations covered with a layer of plated Tin (NiSn)
Applications include mobile phones, video and tuner designs
C0G/NP0 is the most popular formulation of the "temperature compensating", EIA Class I ceramic materials
X7R, X5R formulations are called "temperature stable" ceramics and fall into the EIA Class II materials
Y5V, Z5U formulations are for general purpose use in a limited temperature range, EIA Class II materials; these characteristics are ideal for decoupling applications.
