The dielectric and electrical properties of CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 ceramics prepared by a simple combustion method were investigated. Fine‐grained CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 ceramics exhibited good dielectric properties and temperature stability. Very low loss tangents of 0.020–0.016 and high dielectric constant of 5776–6406 (at 1 kHz and 20°C) with temperature coefficient less than ±15% in the temperature range of −70 to 90°C were observed. Dielectric relaxation processes were observed in large‐grained CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 ceramics. The dielectric relaxation in the temperature range of 60–150°C may be associated with sample–electrode contact. The relaxation in temperatures below −40°C is related to the electrical response at grain boundaries.
