CalRamic HV Ceramic Capacitor Educational Series 109-2

In practice, capacitors are available in many different forms. They can vary by the type dielectric utilized, the size, shape and nature of the electrodes used and the type of packaging employed. All of these variables can strongly affect the characteristics of the capacitor and the type of application for which
these devices are most suitable. 

The basic design, benefits, drawbacks and operational parameters associated with a number of the more common capacitor choices are described in Application Note 109-2: Capacitor Basics II - Capacitor Types.
