According to the analysis and statistics, capacitors are mainly divided into the following 10 categories.
1. Three major categories according to structure: fixed capacitor, variable capacitor and trimmer capacitor.
2. According to electrolyte classification: organic dielectric capacitors, inorganic dielectric capacitors, electrolytic capacitors, electrothermal capacitors and air dielectric capacitors, etc.
3. By application: high frequency bypass capacitor, low frequency bypass capacitor, filter capacitor, tuning capacitor, high frequency coupling capacitor, low frequency coupling capacitor, small capacitor.
4. According to the different manufacturing materials, they can be divided into: porcelain dielectric capacitors, polyester capacitors, electrolytic capacitors, tantalum capacitors, and advanced polypropylene capacitors, etc.
5. High frequency bypass: ceramic capacitors, mica capacitors, glass film capacitors, polyester capacitors, vitreous enamel capacitors.
6ใLow frequency bypass: paper capacitor, ceramic capacitor, aluminum electrolytic capacitor, polyester capacitor.
7ใFiltering: aluminum electrolytic capacitor, paper capacitor, composite paper capacitor, liquid tantalum capacitor
8ใTuning: ceramic capacitor, mica capacitor, glass film capacitor, polystyrene capacitor
