Suntan Silver mica (SM) capacitors are high precision, stability and reliability capacitors. They are available in small values, and are mostly used at high frequencies.

Generally known as silver mica capacitors, these rendered clamped mica capacitors obsolete. Instead of being clamped with foils these are assembled from sheets of mica coated on both sides with deposited metal. The assembly is dipped in epoxy. The advantages are:

1.greater stability, since there are no capacitive airgaps that can change dimension

2.airtight enclosure removes the risk of oxidation or corrosion of plates or connections

3.greater capacitance per volume, since

4.there are no airgaps between plates and mica,

5.the conducting surfaces can be thinner.

6.no clamping mechanism is needed
