In this video I look at the multilayer ceramic capacitors that are used in huge quantities each year and examine how many re made.
The result will astound you. These capacitors are indispensable and are used in huge numbers of electronic circuit boards, gadgets and other pieces of electronic equipment.
The MLCC is a ceramic capacitor that consists of a number of layers with a ceramic dielectric between the plates to increase the capacitance.
They are a wonder of modern technology because even tough they are very intricate, they are made in vast quantities.
Have you ever tried hand-soldering an 0402 MLCC? Share your horror stories below!
