本EIA标准是EIA-198-D的修订和更新，涵盖陶瓷介质电容器。修订版E已被修改，以包含新产品的信息，特别是额定电压低、外壳尺寸小的表面安装电容器。每节开头都列出了详细的更改。第三部分的各个产品规范被安排为单独的单独分页章节，以便于根据具体情况进行修订。

This EIA Standard is a revision and update of EIA-198-D covering ceramic dielectric capacitors. Revision-E has been modified to contain information on new products, specifically low voltage rated and small case size surface mount capacitors. Detailed changes are listed at the beginning of each section. Individual product specifications have been arranged as stand-alone individual paginated sections of Part III in order to facilitate revision on a case by case basis.
