A capacitor is an electronic component used to store energy. Capacitors consist of 2 metal plates that are separated by a dielectric (non-conductive electrical insulator). Some of the most common dielectrics used are Electrolytic, Ceramic, & Film. The different plate and dielectric materials allow for a variety of capacitor types that can be specialized for specific functions and uses. Capacitors are measured in Farads as well as subdivisions of Farads such as uF(microfarad), nF (nanofarad), & pF (picofarad) and capacitors that are rated at 1 Farad or greater are typically referred to as Supercapacitors.

Applications: Capacitors are commonly used in power supplies, signal processing circuits, consumer electronics, automotive systems, industrial equipment, and communication devices for energy storage, filtering, and voltage regulation.

Selection requirements: Choosing a capacitor requires evaluating capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance, dielectric type, ESR (equivalent series resistance), and operating temperature to ensure proper performance in the intended application.
