| capacitor | A capacitor is an electrical component comprised of two conductors, separated by an insolator. Capacitors blocks DC current flow, pass AC current flow and can be used to filter or store an electrical charge. Key characteristics of capacitors include: capacitance (measured in Farads), Tolerance (measured in percentage), Voltage Rating (measured in Volts), Package Type (Thru-hole, Surface Mount, etc.) Reference Material: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor |
