The mica group of sheet silicate (phyllosilicate) minerals includes several closely related materials having highly perfect basal cleavage. All are monoclinic with a tendency towards pseudo-hexagonal crystals and are similar in chemical composition. The highly perfect cleavage, which is the most prominent characteristic of mica, is explained by the hexagonal sheet-like arrangement of its atoms.

The word "mica" is thought to be derived from the Latin word micare, meaning "to glitter", in reference to the brilliant appearance of this mineral (especially when in small scales).

Based on Mica’s characteristic and other function .Suntan is supplying Silver mica capacitors which are high precision high stability high reliability capacitors. They are available in small values, and are mostly used at high frequencies.

Mica has a high dielectric strength and excellent chemical stability, making it a favoured material for manufacturing capacitors for radio frequency applications. It has also been used as an insulator in high voltage electrical equipment, and between the bars of commutators in direct current motors and generators. Mica is used because it can be split into very thin slices, and this keeps its thermal resistance low while retaining sufficient dielectric strength to prevent current from flowing across it at moderate voltages. The insulation is usually necessary when the heat sink is earthed (grounded) while the electronic component's metal surfaces will be connected to a power supply or signal line. If they were in direct contact this could form a short circuit. Heat sink insulation can also be necessary to prevent the heat sink from acting like an antenna if the component is connected to a rapidly varying signal.
