Abstract A non-reducible temperature compensation dielectric ceramic composition is disclosed, comprising (CaRe)(ZrTi)O 3 and MnO 2 and represented by the formula: (Ca.sub.1-x Re.sub.x).sub.m (Zr.sub.1-y Ti.sub.y)O.sub.3 +zMnO.sub.2 where Re is at least one of Nd, La, Sm and Ce, 0<x<0.3, 0≦y<0.2, 0.85<m<1.30, and 0.005<z<0.08 (expressed as a weight ratio with the weight of (Ca 1-x R x ) m (Zr 1-y Ti y )O 3 as 1.00). The composition of the present invention is free from deterioration in insulation resistance and dielectric loss even if fired in a reducing atmosphere and can be fired over a wide temperature range of from 1,300° to 1,400° C. In production of capacitors using the composition of the present invention, inexpensive electrode materials such as nickel can be used and, thus, the composition of the present invention permits production of monolithic capacitor for temperature compensation.
