Abstract
Abstract Lead oxide-base material for multilayer ceramic capacitors are provided having high dielectric constant and insulation resistance over wide temperature range, e.g. 10°C to 85°C. The dielectric composition comprises by weight in the aggregate of one or more of the following oxides: Ge0 2 , Si0 2 , Bi 2 0 3 , CdO, ZnO, Al 2 O 3 , CuO and B 2 0 3 , chemically combined with at least 20% by weight of PbO, to form a sintering aid having a melting point of not higher than 775°C and a resistivity at 25°C of at least 10 13 ohm-cm, said dielectric composition having a total lead oxide content, as PbO, of from 64.32 to 66.20% and having an atomic ratio of Pb to the sum of Nb, Fe and Mg from 0.893 to 0.913 and a weight ratio of MgO to Fe 2 0 3 from 0.34 to 1.3.
