Dielectrics Table: Reccomended Functions, Packages, Values & Ranges

[Dave06]

I could do with a table that's shows

The meduim
Reccomended Functions
Pakages
Polorised or not
Capicitor values
Tollerance ranges


Anything near to that would be great

Thanks

for your request! I can definitely provide a table that meets your requirements. However, please note that the recommended functions, packages, polarized or not, capacitor values, and tolerance ranges may vary depending on the specific application and requirements. It is important to carefully consider these factors when selecting a dielectric for your project. With that being said, here is a general table of recommended functions, packages, polarized or not, capacitor values, and tolerance ranges for various dielectric materials:

Dielectric Material | Recommended Functions | Packages | Polarized or Not | Capacitor Values | Tolerance Ranges
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Ceramic | High frequency applications, decoupling, filtering | Surface mount, through-hole | Not polarized | pF to uF | +/- 5% to +/- 20%
Mica | High frequency applications, high voltage applications | Through-hole | Not polarized | pF to nF | +/- 0.5% to +/- 1%
Paper | Low frequency applications, bypassing | Through-hole | Not polarized | nF to uF | +/- 5% to +/- 20%
Polyester | General purpose, audio applications | Surface mount, through-hole | Not polarized | nF to uF | +/- 5% to +/- 20%
Polypropylene | High frequency, low loss applications | Surface mount, through-hole | Not polarized | pF to nF | +/- 1% to +/- 5%
Polystyrene | High frequency, low loss applications | Through-hole | Not polarized | pF to nF | +/- 1% to +/- 5%
Tantalum | High frequency, low ESR applications | Surface mount, through-hole | Polarized | uF to mF | +/- 5% to +/- 20%
Aluminum Electrolytic | General purpose, power supply filtering | Surface mount, through-hole | Polarized | uF to mF | +/- 10% to +/- 20%
Film/Foil | High frequency, precision applications | Through-hole | Not polarized | pF to nF | +/- 1% to +/- 5%

I hope this table serves as a helpful starting point for your dielectric selection process. Remember to always consider your specific application and requirements when making a final decision. Best of luck with your project!
