In addition to multilayer ceramic capacitors, there are also electrolytic capacitors and film capacitors. Due to the acceleration in the shift to energy conservation and the Internet of Things, the demand for high-performance capacitors is expected to increase over the medium to long-term. In particular, multilayer ceramic capacitors are essential for creating miniature and high performance electronic devices. TAIYO YUDEN offers a broad lineup of small size, low profile, high capacitance value, and high reliability products from the initial materials used to development and production to meet customer needs.

High-reliability and a reduced size can be achieved by utilizing multilayer ceramic capacitors with a lower ESR and ESL than electrolytic capacitors in power supply circuits.

Multilayer ceramic capacitors are ultra-small and low profile, using a multilayered structure which internally alternates ceramic and electrode layers. TAIYO YUDEN uses its strengths in material development for commercialization and similarly invests its technical capabilities into printing and lamination technologies, while continuing to develop high-quality and high-reliability multilayer ceramic capacitors.
