The invention provides a ceramic capacitor including a ceramic dielectric
body at least two spaced-part electrodes in contact with the body wherein
at least 80 weight percent of the body consists of alumina, the body
further including at least 0.5 BaTiO.sub.3 w/w %, at least 0.5 w/w % MgO,
<0.05 w/w % SiO.sub.2, at least 4.5 w/w % ZrO.sub.2 and at least 0.07
w/w % HfO.sub.2.
