Feed Through Capacitors

The 2482-001-X5U0-102M is a type of feed through capacitor commonly used in a variety of applications and environments. This capacitor is able to provide an efficient method of blocking alternating currents while allowing direct currents to flow.

Applications

The 2482-001-X5U0-102M is commonly used in signal conditioning, radio frequency interference (RFI) protection, and capacitive input filtering. It is especially useful for applications where space is limited, such as printed circuit boards.

The capacitor is also used in communications systems, such as those found in amateur radio and microwave links. In addition, the capacitor is useful in electronic test equipment, where it is used to reduce high frequency noise and unwanted signals.

The capacitor is also widely used in military and aerospace applications, where it is necessary to provide protection from high frequency and low frequency pulses.

Working Principle

The 2482-001-X5U0-102M consists of two metal electrodes which are separated by a ceramic dielectric. When a direct current is applied across the electrode terminals, the capacitor allows current to flow, while blocking any alternate current.

The capacitor is able to block alternating current because the metal electrodes act as reverse-biased diodes, which create an opposite polarization at the terminals. This opposite polarization creates an energy barrier which prevents the alternate current from passing through the capacitor.

The energy barrier created by the capacitor is proportional to the size of the electrodes, which is why the 2482-001-X5U0-102M is able to handle higher current than other feed through capacitors.

Conclusion

The 2482-001-X5U0-102M feed through capacitor is a highly efficient method of providing alternate current blocking capabilities in a variety of applications. The capacitor is widely used in signal conditioning, RFI protection, and capacitive input filtering, as well as in communications systems, electronic test equipment, and military and aerospace applications.

The capacitor is able to provide a high level of alternate current blocking due to its two metal electrodes, which act as reverse-biased diodes and create an energy barrier that prevents the alternate current from passing through the capacitor. The 2482-001-X5U0-102M is able to handle higher current than other feed through capacitors due to the size of its electrodes.
