A feed-through capacitor, also referred to as an across-the-terminal (AT) capacitor, is an essential electronic component in many kinds of electrical circuit designs. These capacitors are used to connect two points, or nodes, in a circuit. The capacitor itself acts as both an electrical circuit and a filtering device, allowing electrical signals to pass through and yet providing additional electrical and filtering benefits.
The 4300-031LF is a feed-through capacitor designed for a broad range of applications. It is a high quality, cost-effective component that features a high capacitance, low impedance, and fast response time. This component is specifically designed for use in consumer electronics, medical diagnostic equipment, and military/aerospace applications where reliability is key. Additionally, it is also an excellent solution for any type of general purpose audio-related application.
The 4300-031LF is a four-terminal capacitor with an operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C. This component uses a ceramic dielectric material for excellent insulation and a robust structure for long-term performance and reliability. It also features a built-in voltage regulator, which allows the capacitor to be used with many different types of voltages from 10V to 60V without the need for an external voltage regulator.
The working principle of this capacitor is quite simple. It allows an electrical current to flow between the two terminals while filtering out any unwanted noise or interference. This is achieved by the capacitor storing the electrical energy into the dielectric material, and this stored energy is then released back into the circuit when needed. This means that no current is actually being consumed by the capacitor, and therefore the capacitance of the capacitor determines the amount of energy that can be stored and released back into the circuit.
The 4300-031LF is known for its high-frequency operation. This is due to the capacitor’s excellent self-healing properties, which help it to quickly recover from voltage spikes or sudden electrical disturbances. Additionally, this component has a fast response time, with less than 5ms for most common tasks. This makes it perfect for use in high frequency signal processing applications, automotive electronics, medical electronics, and more.
In conclusion, the 4300-031LF is a highly reliable and affordable feed-through capacitor for a wide number of applications. Its fast response time and self-healing properties make it ideal for fast switching and signal transfer applications, as well as for filtering any unwanted electrical noise. Additionally, its built-in voltage regulator allows it to be used with many different types of voltages without the need for external components.
