In electronics, a varicap diode, varactor diode, variable capacitance diode, variable reactance diode or tuning diode is a type of diode which has a variable capacitance that is a function of the voltage impressed on its terminals.

All diodes exhibit this phenomenon to some degree, but specially made varactor diodes exploit the effect to boost the capacitance and variability range achieved - most diode fabrication attempts to achieve the opposite.

In the figure we can see an example of a crossection of a varactor with the depletion layer formed of a p-n-junction. But the depletion layer can also be made of a MOS-diode or a Schottky diode. This is very important in CMOS and MMIC technology.

For a 10uF capacitor we recommend using a 1206 footprint, and for 22uF and 47uF we recommend a 1210 footprint. The 1812 footprint is slightly better than the 1210 for the 47uF, but we don’t think the improvement is worth the extra space and added cost.

Sometimes the product cost may also impact the chosen footprint. For example, if a 1210, 22uF capacitor is more than double the cost of a 1206, then the 1206 component may be preferred. In other applications, the designer may just want to get the maximum capacitance in a limited available footprint. If, for example, there is only room for a 1206 capacitor, the 47uF part will still have the most capacitance even if it loses a larger percentage of its value than the 22uF or the 10uF parts.

MLCC consists of a conducting material and electrodes. To manufacture a chip-type SMT and achieve miniaturization, high density and high efficiency, ceramic condensers are used.

The capability of the surge arrester in energy dissipation against switching surge is well expressed by the magnitude of kJ/kV (arrester rated voltage). These values show the dissipated total energy per two shots of switching surge that the surge arresters can withstand thermally with these values. Where the energy capability is inadequate in our standard series.

Typical structure of surge arresters are shown in Figure below .The surge arresters are basically composed of the TNR elements, housing and associated parts with insulating gas filling as shown in figures. The hermetic sealing of the housing is constructed with weather-proof synthetic rubber. The pressure relief diaphragm is structured with special metal plate, which is ruptured when a sudden pressure rise occurs in case of the internal failure.
