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F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。本标准的第一部分提供了通过使用类型名称对陶瓷电容器进行电气和机械特性描述的方法。此外，本部分概述了电介质分类、标记规范和试验顺序。

This EIA Standard is a revision and update of EIA-198-D covering ceramic dielectric capacitors. Revision-F has been modified to contain information on new products, specifically low voltage rated and small case size surface mount capacitors. Part I of this standard provides means to characterize ceramic capacitors electrically and mechanically by use of type designations. In addition, this part outlines dielectric classifications, marking specifications, and test sequences.
