Ceramic Capacitors A device for storing a charge of electricity. These devices have interlaced layers of metal and ceramic.

Aluminum Capacitors A device for storing a charge of electricity. These devices are basically composed of an aluminum foil coated with an insulating layer, a sheet of paper saturated with electrolyte, and another aluminum foil. These devices are most often polarized and will be damaged if connected incorrectly.

Tantalum Capacitors A device for storing a charge of electricity. The dielectric material of these devices will be an oxidized form of tantalum.

Film Capacitors A device for storing a charge of electricity. The dielectric of these devices will be some form of a plastic film, a metalized film, or a combination of the two.

Electric Double Layer Capacitors, Supercaps A device for storing a charge of electricity. These devices are designed to have energy storage capabilities that are much greater than normal capacitors.

Mica and PTFE Capacitors A device for storing a charge of electricity. The dielectric of these devices will be some form mica or polytetrafluorethylene.

Thin Film Capacitors A device for storing a charge of electricity. These devices are composed of thin film layers deposited on a substrate and separated by a dielectric.

Niobium Oxide Capacitors A device for storing a charge of electricity. These devices use Niobium Oxide as the anode material.

Trimmers, Variable Capacitors A device for storing a charge of electricity. In these devices the capacity of the stored charge can be changed.

Capacitor Arrays A grouping of devices used to store a charge of electricity. The components may or may not be connected internally.

Silicon Capacitors A device for storing a charge of electricity. These devices are based on silicon material.

Kits A grouping of capacitors of various styles, sizes, and values.

Accessories Supplementary items used with capacitive components.
