NTE Electronics CML152J100 Series CML Ceramic Multilayer Capacitor, 1500 pf Capacitance, 5% Tolerance, 100V (Pack of 2)

hi welcome to fundamentals Friday today we're going to take a look at a rather unusual and often little knowing aspect of ceramic capacitors in fact it's a really undesirable aspect and a real trap for young and old players alike if you're not aware of it so let's have a look at some basics first and then we'll very quickly then we'll jump over to the bench and our shows I won't tell you what it is yet I'll let you figure it out on your own but you know a capacitor right simple RC charge circuit like this very common application for capacitors RC time constant charges up gets to a certain threshold and you can detect that and you can use them as time is very typical application not that accurate because as we're aware capacitors are not particularly high tolerance devices and if we take a look at some typical ceramic capacitors we're only talking about ceramic capacitors here then they'
