Product Overview
This capacitor features long leads for use in through-hole board printed circuit board assemblies.
Radial lead, ceramic disc capacitors are used in a variety of electronic circuits and devices for a number of purposes. Some common uses for these types of capacitors include:
-
Bypassing: Ceramic disc capacitors are often used as bypass capacitors, which are used to provide a low-impedance path to ground for high-frequency signals. This helps to reduce noise and improve the performance of the circuit.
-
Coupling: Ceramic disc capacitors are often used as coupling capacitors, which are used to pass AC signals while blocking DC signals. This is useful in circuits where AC signals need to be isolated from DC signals, such as in audio amplifier circuits.
-
Filtering: Ceramic disc capacitors are often used as filter capacitors, which are used to smooth out AC ripple in power supplies and other circuits.
-
Timing: Ceramic disc capacitors are often used in timing circuits, such as oscillators and pulse generators, where their small size and high capacitance make them well-suited for these applications.
-
Decoupling: Ceramic disc capacitors are often used as decoupling capacitors, which are used to provide a local energy source for ICs and other components in a circuit. This helps to stabilize the voltage and reduce noise in the circuit.
