Capacitors
Capacitors are essential passive electronic components used to store and release electrical energy in circuits. They improve the reliability and performance of industrial electronics by smoothing voltage fluctuations.
Common Applications
power factor correction
signal processing
energy storage
waveform smoothing
frequency tuning
blocking DC current
