What is a Capacitor?
A capacitor is a passive electronic component that stores electrical energy in an electric field. Capacitors are used in virtually every electronic circuit for filtering, decoupling, timing, and energy storage. Embeded Studio stocks the widest range of capacitors in Pakistan at the best prices.
Types of Capacitors Available in Pakistan
Electrolytic Capacitors
Polarized capacitors with high capacitance values (1µF to 10,000µF). Used in power supplies, audio circuits, and energy storage. Available in 16V, 25V, 35V, 50V, 63V, 100V, and 450V ratings.
Ceramic Capacitors
Non-polarized, small capacitance (1pF to 100nF). Used for decoupling, filtering, and high-frequency applications. Available in through-hole and SMD (0402, 0603, 0805) packages.
Film Capacitors
Polyester and polypropylene film capacitors for audio, power factor correction, and AC applications. More stable than electrolytic over temperature and time.
Tantalum Capacitors
Small size, high capacitance, stable. Used in portable electronics and SMD designs where space is critical.
Supercapacitors (Ultracapacitors)
Very high capacitance (1F to 3000F). Used for energy harvesting, backup power, and peak current delivery in IoT devices.
Capacitor Selection Guide
When selecting a capacitor in Pakistan, consider: capacitance value, voltage rating (always use 20-50% higher than circuit voltage), temperature rating, ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) for power supply applications, and package type.
Common Capacitor Applications
- Power supply filtering and decoupling
- Motor start and run capacitors
- Audio coupling and bypass
- Timer circuits (RC networks)
- Snubber circuits for IGBT/MOSFET protection
