I am currently conducting research on the effect of temperature on the X7R dielectric in ceramic capacitors.

I am specifically focusing on the [C320C104KCR5T](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/ceramic-capacitors/60?s=N4IgTCBcDaIMIGYwAY4EZkBYDScBKArACogC6AvkA) capacitor sold by DigiKey and I was wondering whether I could have access to the area of the parallel plates and the distance between the parallel plates.

Thank you so much in advance.

Kind regards,  
Alex Oort

Hello Alex Oort,

Welcome to the community!

I had a look at Kemet’s system on this part, I did not see any published information available for plate area and distances.

All the information we have access to on this part is [available from Kemet here.](https://www.kemet.com/en/us/capacitors/ceramic/product/C320C104KCR5TA.html)
