These capacitors are primarily designed for use where a small physical size with comparatively large electrical capacitance and high insulation resistance is required. General purpose (BQ, BR, and BX characteristics) ceramic capacitors are not intended for frequency-determining or precision circuits but are suitable for use as by-pass, filter, and noncritical coupling elements in high-frequency circuits. All of these applications are of the type where dissipation factor is not critical and moderate changes due to temperature, voltage, and frequency variations do not affect the proper functioning of the circuit. BP characteristic ceramic capacitors are for use in critical frequency determining applications, timing circuits, and other applications where absolute stability is required. Two product levels are offered: B level (standard reliability) and T level for higher reliability applications.
