Capacitor Application Program

Passive Plus Inc.’s brand new Capacitor Application Program (C.A.P.) helps engineers and designers select capacitors according to parameters such as cap value and frequency. C.A.P. will provide options (Case Size, Terminations, Mounting), and parameters (ESR, Q, Impedance) along with Datasheets. C.A.P. allows engineers to insert capacitors requirements (Cap value, Frequency), producing Scattering Matrices (S2P) Charts. Once engineers have determined their capacitor requirements, C.A.P. also includes online RFQs and/or sample requests.
