Ceramic Capacitors
by Arco Electronics

Arco offers a variety of ceramic capacitors. In our product line, we are offering Multilayer Ceramic Chip and Leaded Capacitors which meet the highest standards achievable in today's circuits and tomorrow's state-of-the-art products. Our Ceramic Disc Capacitors which are designed to exhibit a level of performance and reliability well above industry standards. 

Reliable performance is built into each capacitor through the use of proper dielectric formulation, precise preparation of the conductive pastes, automated manufacturing and strict process control.

Also available now are Discoidal Capacitors and Planar Arrays.

Ceramic Chip Capacitors
MC series - Surface Mount

ARCO's Multilayer Ceramic capacitors are constructed by stacking layers of ceramic dielectric materials with prefired metallic plate structures. This high-strength homogeneous body then has metal end terminations fired in place to insure their permanent connection.
