Additionally, it's an inexpensive way to boost performance, he said. The capacitor utilizes copper inner electrode technology instead of palladium. The resistivity is roughly 10 percent lower than that of common silver and palladium electrodes, Guiney said. Design engineers find this critically important because these parts perform better at higher frequencies and consume less power. Murata's GRM 615 series costs roughly 5 cents per capacitor.
