dielectrics
Non-conducting capacitor materials
Dielectrics is the plural of dielectric—a material that doesn't conduct electricity but can store electrical energy when placed in an electric field.
Glass, rubber, and ceramics are common dielectrics.
They're essential in capacitors, where a dielectric layer separates conductive plates: The capacitor's performance depends on the dielectrics used between its electrodes.
