CERAMITE

Cera-Mite Inc. manufactures electronic components such as ceramic disk capacitors and positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor used in power supplies, electronic lighting, aerospace, refrigeration, over current protection, telecommunications, and electronic fluorescent ballasts. The company is based in Grafton, Wisconsin with manufacturing plants in Grafton, Oconto and Oconto Falls, Wisconsin.Cera-Mite was originally an independent company known for its ceramic capacitors. In 1973, it was acquired by Vishay Intertechnology and became part of the Vishay group. Vishay Cera-Mite Inc. operates as a subsidiary of Vishay Intertechnology Inc.

Cera-Mite, now known as Vishay Cera-Mite, is a brand under Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., a global manufacturer of electronic components. Cera-Mite is primarily known for its ceramic capacitors and related passive electronic components. These components are widely used in various electronic applications, including telecommunications, automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial systems.

Applications: Cera-Mite (Vishay Cera-Mite) capacitors are used in a wide range of applications, including automotive electronics, telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, industrial automation, and more.

Cera-Mite (Vishay Cera-Mite) specializes in the manufacturing of ceramic capacitors, which are essential components for storing and discharging electrical energy. Their product range includes:

• Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs): These capacitors consist of layers of ceramic material and metal electrodes. MLCCs are widely used in a broad range of electronic devices and circuits due to their compact size and reliability.

• Ceramic Power Capacitors: These capacitors are designed for high-power applications, including power supplies and power electronics. They can handle high voltage and current levels.

• Ceramic Single-Layer Capacitors: These capacitors are designed for specialized applications where high-frequency performance and low loss are critical.
