Part 1: Electronics and Capacitors｜Understanding the Types and Roles of Capacitors through Five Articles

Electronic devices comprise a wide variety of electronic components. Capacitors, along with resistors and inductors (coils), are regarded as the three major passive components. Today, about one trillion capacitors are produced worldwide each year, 80% of which are multilayer ceramic chip capacitors, and 90% of which are made by Japanese manufacturers. While there is a multitude of capacitor types, the multilayer ceramic chip capacitor is the mainstay in today’s electronics society—and TDK is a leading global manufacturer of them.
