Suntan Ceramic Capacitor HF uses
Ceramic capacitors are suitable for moderately high-frequency work (into the high hundreds of megahertz range, or, with great care, into the low gigahertz range), as modern ceramic caps are fairly non-inductive compared to the other major classes of capacitors (film and electrolytic). Capacitor technologies with higher self-resonant frequencies tend to be expensive and esoteric (typically, mica or glass capacitors).
Sample self-resonant frequencies for one set of C0G and one set of X7R ceramic capacitors are:
| 10 pF | 100 pF | 1 nF | 10 nF | 100 nF | 1 µF | |
| C0G (Class 1) | 1550 MHz | 460 MHz | 160 MHz | 55 MHz | ||
| X7R (Class 2) | 190 MHz | 56 MHz | 22 MHz | 10 MHz |
