Abstract
Abstract A dielectric ceramic composition prepared by adding 0.1 to 1.3% of B2O3, 1.0 to 3.0% of SiO2 and 0.5 to 3.0% of ZnO to a composition comprising 18.0 to 27.0% of BaTiO2, 31.6 to 36.3% of Nd2O3, 27.6 to 35.5% of TiO2, 2.5 to 8.1% of Bi2O3 and 5.6 to 9.0% of Pb3O4, all percentages being by weight. This dielectric composition has a high dielectric constant and a temperature coefficient controlled within a narrow range and can be fired at relatively low temperatures. Because of these properties, it is used as a multilayer ceramic capacitor in combination with an electrode composed of an Ag-Pd alloy containing a major amount of Ag.
