CAPACITORS

   Condenser - one of the most widely used components of radio and consists of two metal plates - facings, separated by a dielectric. Facings are external pins through which the capacitor is connected to other elements. One of the important properties of the capacitor is that for the AC it is a resistance whose value decreases with increasing frequency.
The greater the charge can accumulate a capacitor at a certain voltage, the greater the electrical capacitance of the capacitor. Capacitance measured in Farad (F). This is a very large value, which in practice do not apply. In radio technology used capacitors from a few shares picofarads (pF) to hundreds of microfarads (mF).

For marking small capacitors use a coded symbol. Depending on how the chain can use a capacitor to him different requirements. The main parameters that characterize the capacitors, the following:
Nominal capacity - the capacity of the condenser, selected from a number of numerical values (Es, E6, E12 and E24). The capacitance of the capacitor case indicate the number and letter. The capacitance from 0 to 100 pF mark in picofarads, placing the letter "P" or "p" after the number, if it is whole, or in place of a point, if the number-fraction). Capacities from 100 pF to 0.1 microfarads stand in nanofaradah "H" or "n" and from 0,1 uF and above - in microfarads "M" (M or p) Table:

Temperature coefficient of capacitance (TKE) - characterizes the relative change in capacitance from the nominal value when the temperature of the environment. Sign TKE can be negative (denoted by the letter "M"), positive (P), close to zero (MP). The letter "H" in the symbol group indicates that for these capacitors TKE is not standardized. Following the letter "N" numbers indicate the maximum allowable change in capacitance in the range of operating temperatures.

Ceramic capacitors low (group I "by TKE) is used as a shunt, interlock, filter, and also for communication between the stages at low frequency. To save the resonant circuits at work in a wide range of temperatures necessary to use serial or parallel connection of capacitors, in which the TKE have different signs. What makes a temperature change frequency settings of the temperature-compensated circuit remains practically unchanged. Like all conductors, capacitors have some inductance. It is the greater, the larger the size of the capacitor plates and the internal connecting wires, the longer and thinner than its conclusions. In practice, for the work of bypass capacitors, in which the facings are made in the form of long strips of foil, folded together with the dielectric in a circular roll or any other form, in a wide range of frequencies, parallel to the paper (oxide) connect a ceramic or mica capacitor of small capacity.
