Suppression Capacitors

Capacitors are passive electronic components that are used to store electrical energy in the form of an electric field. Capacitors consist of two or more conductive plates that are separated by an insulating material, known as the dielectric. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, electrical charge is stored on the plates, creating an electric field between them. The capacitance of a capacitor, which is a measure of its ability to store electrical charge, depends on the area of the plates, the distance between the plates, and the type of dielectric material used. Suppression capacitors are a type of capacitor that is used to suppress electrical noise and interference in electronic circuits. These capacitors are typically connected across a power supply line or a signal line, and they act as a low-pass filter, blocking high-frequency noise and allowing the desired signal to pass through. Suppression capacitors are commonly used in a variety of applications, such as in power supplies, signal processing circuits, and telecommunications systems. They are available in a range of sizes and capacitance values, and they are typically designed to handle high voltage and current levels.
