We offer a wide range of single layer ceramic capacitors that provide low inductance and low effective series resistance (ESR)
What is a single layer ceramic capacitor?
Single layer ceramic capacitors (SLCC capacitors) have been manufactured for many years for high frequency microwave applications.
The manufacturing of traditional single layer capacitors begins with a fired ceramic substrate with a typical thickness of 0.005". The ceramic substrates use various dielectric formulations, depending on the type of capacitor that is being constructed. Next, both surfaces of the fired substrate are metallized by either a thick or thin film process. Finally the substrate is diamond sawed into square or rectangular chips. The result is a simple parallel plate, single layer capacitor structure.
Single layer vs multilayer ceramic capacitors
Single layer ceramic capacitors are similar in construction to ceramic multilayer capacitors but have only one layer of insulating material instead of multiple layers.
The simple parallel plate structure has advantages over multi-layer capacitors up to gigahertz frequencies due to its low inductance and low effective series resistance (ESR).
The Vishay D series comprise class 2, radial leaded, ceramic single layer DC disc capacitors with Y5P dielectric material. The capacitance value ranges from 100pF to 10000pF. Typical application includes temperature compensation, bypassing, coupling, and decoupling.

The TDK CC45 Series of disk type capacitors with leads provide snubber circuit protection in power supplies.
Features include a low dissipation factor and a decreased self-heating temperature at high frequency and high voltage applications. The 6kV rated voltage series has been added the 3kV rated voltage series. These products conform to RoHS Directive due to lead (Pb) free lead wire and internal solder material. They are compatible with halogen-free external resin coating.
