Alumina Spacers: Forms, Purity & Selection Guide An alumina spacer is a sintered aluminum oxide part that maintains distance between components while providing electrical isolation, thermal isolation, or both. Six geometric forms cover almost every commercial alumina spacer, and purity from 95 to 99.7 percent decides electrical and thermal margin. For most spacer duty, picking

Ceramic Washer: Materials, Forms & Selection Guide A ceramic washer is a thin, flat sintered ceramic piece that sits under a fastener head or nut to provide electrical isolation, thermal isolation, or both between the fastener and the mating surface. Five materials cover almost every commercial ceramic washer: alumina, zirconia, steatite, aluminum nitride, and silicon

Alumina Ceramic Insulator: Purity, Forms & Design Guide An alumina ceramic insulator is a sintered aluminum oxide part used to block electrical current in feedthroughs, standoffs, bushings, washers, and multi-hole insulators across electronic, industrial, and vacuum systems. Higher purity costs more, but it does not buy higher breakdown strength. Measured breakdown moves up and down

Insulator Ceramic: Materials, Properties & Selection An insulator ceramic is a sintered ceramic material that blocks electrical current, delivered as washers, spacers, bushings, standoffs, feedthroughs, or line insulators across power and electronic systems. Four material families cover almost every commercial insulator ceramic: alumina, porcelain, steatite, and the advanced nitrides. This guide explains what makes a

Ceramic Substrate: Materials, Thickness & Uses Guide A ceramic substrate is a dense, sintered ceramic sheet that serves as the electrical insulator, mechanical carrier, and heat spreader for high-performance electronic circuits. This guide covers the five substrate materials in commercial use, standard thickness and size, the seven metallization routes, and when to choose ceramic over

Alumina Dielectric Constant & Electrical Properties Hub Alumina’s dielectric constant sits between 7.8 and 10.3 at 1 MHz and 25°C, shifting with purity grade and microstructure rather than crystal chemistry alone. This page consolidates the dielectric constant of alumina alongside dielectric strength, dielectric loss, and volume resistivity for six commercial purity grades from 95 to
