Dielectric Materials in Nanofarad Ceramic Capacitors
Class I Dielectrics
These are high-stability, low-loss dielectrics used where precision is important.
Common Class I Types:
| Dielectric | Temp. Coefficient | Stability | Applications |
| C0G (NP0) | ±30 ppm/°C (very stable) | Excellent | Precision timing, RF, audio, and analog filters |
| P100, N150, N750 (less common) | Negative temp cos | Good | Specialized timing circuits |
Features:
- Very low capacitance drift with temperature and voltage
- Tight tolerances (±1%, ±2%, ±5%)
- More expensive and larger for higher capacitance
- Mostly available up to ~100nF
Use C0G when accuracy, frequency response, and low distortion are critical (e.g., audio, RF, op-amp feedback).
Class II Dielectrics
These are high-capacitance, compact, and cost-effective, though they have more variation with temperature and voltage.
Common Class II Types:
| Dielectric | Temp. Stability | Max Capacitance (nF) | Applications |
| X7R | ±15% (−55°C to +125°C) | Up to ~470nF or more | General-purpose decoupling, filtering |
| Y5V | +22% / −82% (−30°C to +85°C) | High (compact) | Low-cost filtering, less critical uses |
| Z5U | +22% / −56% (10°C to +85°C) | High (even smaller) | Cheapest option for non-critical use |
Features:
- Smaller size for higher capacitance values
- Higher capacitance variation with temperature/voltage
- Lower cost and higher availability
- Most 100nF–999nF ceramic capacitors are X7R or Y5V
Use X7R for typical decoupling caps (e.g., 100nF near microcontrollers).
Avoid Y5V/Z5U in analog or timing-critical designs due to wide variation.

Voltage Ratings of Nanofarad Ceramic Capacitors
Voltage rating depends on capacitor size, dielectric type, and manufacturer, but common MLCC ceramic capacitors in the Nanofarad range are available in:
| Rated Voltage | Typical Usage Notes |
| 6.3V | Tiny SMD MLCCs (low-voltage circuits) |
| 10V | Small signal and low-power logic |
| 16V | General-purpose SMD, microcontrollers, sensors |
| 25V | Microcontroller and analog circuits |
| 50V | Standard for decoupling caps (e.g., 100nF) |
| 63V | Available but less common than 50V/100V |
| 100V | Audio, industrial, higher power analog circuits |
| 250V / 500V / 1kV | Special high-voltage applications (e.g., SMPS, RF) |
Important: Higher voltage ratings generally come in larger packages or lower capacitance limits due to size constraints.
Summary Table
| Capacitance Range | Typical Voltage Ratings |
| 1nF–10nF | 50V, 100V, 250V, 500V |
| 10nF–100nF | 16V, 25V, 50V, 100V |
| 100nF–999nF | 6.3V, 10V, 25V, 50V (common), 100V |
Higher capacitance and higher voltage = a physically larger capacitor. The SMD packages may be limited to ≤100V, radial types go higher.
