Chip Capacitors
This classic two-electrode design is the simplest and most widely
used. The chip size, shape and electrical properties may be determined and
specified from the dielectric material data and the CSA Selection Chart. Case sizes
are listed for guidance only. All parts are manufactured directly to customer require-
ments. All sizes and tolerances can be modified to provide the optimum part for your
circuit. Filter applications are readily supported. Thicknesses up to 25 mils and
extremely tight tolerances to ±.005pF are available.

letter “R” is used as a decimal point
and the succeeding digits represent

Standard dimensional tolerance for length and width is ±15% up to 20 mils. For dimensions
greater than 20 mils, standard tolerance is ±10%. In cases where dimension

exceeded,
insert “M” to signify a Maximum dimension. The thickness tolerance is ±1.5 mils.

To determine rectangular chip
dimensions, calculate the chip
area by using the square
equivalent. For example, if a 30 mil
square chip (900 mil area) yields
the desired capacitance and one
dimension must not exceed
20 mils, then rectangular chip
size would be 20 mil x 45 mil
(900 ÷ 20 = 45).
