Suntan Technology Company Limited
---All Kinds of Capacitors

Since 1978, Suntan Technology Company Limited started in selling all kinds of capacitors from our headquarters in Hong Kong, which of course include the ceramic disc capacitor. But what is ceramic disc capacitor? Many people don't really know, Suntan would like to introduce it now.  

A ceramic disc capacitor is a capacitor constructed with a ceramic disc as the dielectric. You'll recall that the basic definition of a capacitor is two conductors separated by an insulator (dielectric) of some kind. As a charge is driven onto one plate of a capacitor, the extra charge there builds up an electric field. Each charge arriving on one plate forces a charge off the other plate. Charge (and, therefore, voltage) builds. 

After reading the introduction of ceramic disc capacitor, in order to help clients enhance understanding, here take a Suntan products for example . This product is Suntan ceramic disc capacitor - TS15. Suntan ceramic chip capacitor is not only including TS15, of course, also including the TS16, TS17 ,etc.
