Chip Capacitor Types: How NP0, X7R, X5R, Z5U, and Y5V Compare
Chip Capacitor Types: How NP0, X7R, X5R, Z5U, and Y5V Compare Two multilayer ceramic capacitors that look identical can behave completely differently in the same circuit, and the difference is hidden in a short code on the datasheet: NP0, X7R, Z5U, Y5V. These are not model names. Each is a promise about how much the capacitance [...]
