We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Ceramic capacitors",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Potentiometers get in trim from
Arun Components, which we summarised at the time by saying "Trimming potentiometer range comprises many popular sizes with multiturn and single-turn actions".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Ceramic capacitors suit EMI filtering from
Syfer Technology: "Syfer's discoidal multilayer ceramic capacitors can be installed directly into filters, onto bulkheads, hybrid circuits or onto printed circuit boards".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Kemet Electronics Corp
concerning its Kemet ceramic capacitors
- take a look at Ceramic capacitors suit sensitive applications
which says: "Kemet's ceramic capacitors exhibit no piezoelectric properties as well as no capacitance change with respect to applied rated DC voltage or time".
Take a look also at the news release from Linear Technology Corp, Regulators go high and low in one,
as well as Brick drops in to boost basestation efficiency from Ericsson Power Modules,
and Step-down regulators take switches onboard from Maxim Integrated Products.
