Suppression capacitors (X/Y) are an important tool to reduce/suppress high-frequency interference signals between the mains supply and connected devices and to obtain UL and/or TÜV/VDE approval for corresponding devices.
X and Y capacitors are available both in film technology and as ceramic capacitors. If space saving on the board is an important condition, ceramic capacitors can be used advantageously. The trade-off between required capacitance and space savings is crucial. However, if a higher capacitance is required, film capacitors are the means of choice. Beckmann Elektronik offers both technologies. By discussing the requirements of your application and the desired results, the appropriate solution can be determined.
