Multilayer Capacitors

Multilayer capacitors consist of a monolithic ceramic block with comb-like sintered electrodes. These electrodes come to the surface at the face ends of the ceramic block where an electrical contact is made by burnt-in metallic layers. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are found in many applications like Hard disks, Game PCs, DVDs, Video cameras, Mobile phones, General electronic circuits etc.
