The smallest discrete capacitor, for instance, is a "01005" chip capacitor with the dimension of only 0.4 mm × 0.2 mm. The construction of ceramic multilayer capacitors with mostly alternating layers results in single capacitors connected in parallel. This configuration increases capacitance and decreases all losses and parasitic inductances.
The ceramic layers are usually very thin; however, this depends on the voltage rating of the component. The higher the voltage, the greater the thickness and size of the capacitor for the same capacitance. The capacitor is usually protected from moisture and other contaminants by a thin coating.
Low voltage types with highly roughened anodes display capacitance at 100 kHz approximately 10 to 20% of the value measured at 100 Hz. Capacitance may also change with applied voltage. This effect is more prevalent in class 2 ceramic capacitors. The permittivity of ferroelectric class 2 material depends on the applied voltage.
Variable capacitors are made as trimmers, that are typically adjusted only during circuit calibration, and as a device tunable during operation of the electronic instrument. The most common group is the fixed capacitors. Many are named based on the type of dielectric.
Common sizes include A, B, and C cases, with each size corresponding to different dimensions and capacitance ratings. Electrolytic capacitors are known for their high capacitance values and are often used in power supply circuits and audio applications.
Large capacitors tend to have higher ESL than small ones because the distances to the plate are longer and every mm counts as an inductance. For any discrete capacitor, there is a frequency above DC at which it ceases to behave as a pure capacitor. This frequency, where is as high as , is called the self-resonant frequency.
