Introduction:
Capacitor is one of mostly used component in electronic
circuit design. It plays an important role in many of theembedded applications. It is available at dierent ratings.It consists of two metal plates separated by a nonconducting substance, or dielectric. A capacitor stores anelectrical charge between the two plates, The unit ofcapacitance is arads !". It is often storage depots foranalog signals and digital data

ilm Capacitors comprising of a generally e)pansivegroup of capacitors with the distinction being in their
dielectric properties.
ilm Capacitors are available in almost any value andvoltages as high as #*++ volts.
They come in any tolerance from #+ to +.+#.
There are two types of -lm capacitors.
They are radial lead type and a)ial lead type.

It resulting in metalied -lm capacitors called -lmcapacitors.
ilm capacitors additionally arrive in a combination ofshapes and case styles.
ilm Capacitors are sometimes called plastic capacitors.
It use polystyrene, polycarbonate or Teon as theirdielectrics.
These -lm sorts need a much thic0er dielectric -lm to
lessen the danger of tears.

CeramicCapacitors
Ceramic capacitors are used in high fre2uency circuitssuch as audio to 3
Ceramic Capacitors are the best choice for high fre2uencycompensation in audio circuits.
These capacitors are also called as disc capacitors.
Ceramic capacitors are made by coating two sides of asmall porcelain or ceramic disc with silver and are thenstac0ed together to ma0e a capacitor.
