PSM4-471P-02T0

Feed Through Capacitors such as PSM4-471P-02T0 are electronic components used for electrical signal filtering and coupling. These components are typically made up of two or more metal tracks embedded in a dielectric material and are designed for through-hole mounting. The two metal tracks have a metal-to-metal electrical contact divided by a very thin dielectric layer, which is the active capacitance element.

These capacitors offer high performance for a variety of applications, including radio-frequency (RF) and switching power supplies. They can be used in a variety of high-frequency applications, including DC/DC conversion, switch mode power supplies and high-frequency signal conversion. The components are also used in digital signal processing (DSP) applications such as FPGA, high-speed A/D and D/A converters, and other ICs.

PSM4-471P-02T0 feed through capacitors have a working principle based on alternating current (AC) electrical principles. One of the two metal tracks is connected to the output voltage of the circuit and the other is connected to the ground. As electricity is applied to the capacitor, the electrons moving through the capacitance react with the thin dielectric barrier present, creating a current that has been alternating in magnitude (AC current). This pulsating AC current is then filtered out and emitted into the other end of the capacitor, allowing the desired signal to pass through.

These feed through capacitors are designed to suppress noise signals, usually caused by switching current draw from the power supply. As the capacitor works to filter the current, it acts as a low-pass filter, allowing only certain frequencies to pass through to the output. The noise signals are usually very low frequency in comparison to the output frequency, and since no current passes through the capacitor at the lower frequencies, the current delivery is left smooth and uninterrupted.

In addition, the feed through capacitors act as a voltage-divider, which can be used in various high-voltage applications such as voltage regulators and phase shifters. In such applications, the capacitor reduces the input voltage of the device, which increases the output voltage of the device. This allows for precise control and protection of the electronic components.

PSM4-471P-02T0 feed through capacitors are designed for use in a variety of applications, such as in power supplies, DC/DC conversion, timer applications, RF signal transmission, noise reduction, voltage regulation, and phase shifting. With a wide variety of different applications, these feed through capacitors are an essential component in many electronic devices.
