Capacitors
A capacitor is a passive electronic component that stores electrical charge and is commonly used to store energy in a circuit. Capacitors are used in a wide range of applications including power supply filtering, signal coupling, and decoupling, noise suppression, and voltage dividing. One of the main use cases of capacitors is to smooth out fluctuations in a direct current (DC) power supply by acting as a temporary reservoir of electrical charge. Capacitors can also be used to block the flow of direct current while allowing alternating current to pass, making them useful for signal coupling and decoupling in audio and radio frequency circuits. Flux.ai is the world's largest community-driven public library of capacitors, offering footprints, symbols, datasheets, and simulation models for a wide range of capacitor types. Whether you're an engineer looking for detailed technical information or a maker in need of resources for your latest project, Flux.ai has you covered.
NTC5D-15
The NTC5D-15 is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor designed for inrush current limiting and surge current suppression in power electronic circuits. It provides high resistance at ambient temperature to restrict excessive startup current and gradually decreases in resistance as it self-heats during operation, allowing normal current flow with minimal power loss. This component is commonly used in switched-mode power supplies, battery chargers, motor drives, lighting equipment, consumer electronics, industrial control systems, and other AC or DC power applications requiring reliable inrush current protection.
