Losses Impedance and ESR A capacitor creates in AC circuits a resistance, the capacitive reactance (Formula C1-3). There is also certain inductance in the capacitor. In AC circuits it produces an inductive reactance that tries to neutralize the capacitive one. Finally the capacitor has resistive losses. Together these three elements produce the impedance, Z.

Class 2 capacitors can be divided in: those with a moderate temperature dependence (X7R or 2C1) and others that only a fraction of the capacitance remains at the temperature limits (Z5U or 2F4).

Capacitors with Class 1 ceramic are manufactured with temperature coefficients between +100 and –1500 ppm/°C. In tables and diagrams we will confine ourselves to the type that is called NP0 or COG (0 ± 30 ppm/°C)
