Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- capacitance
- Capacitance is the amount of electrical charge a capacitor can store, usually measured in farads such as uF. Choosing the right capacitance value matters because it affects how well a circuit filters power, handles timing, or stores short bursts of energy.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
- electrolytic capacitor
- An electrolytic capacitor is a type of capacitor that can store relatively large amounts of electrical charge in a small package. It is commonly used for smoothing power supplies, reducing noise, and short-term energy storage, but it usually has polarity so it must be installed the correct way around.
- Leakage current
- Leakage current is a small unwanted current that flows through insulation, components, or semiconductor inputs even when ideally no current should flow. Very high-value resistors can be used to detect or limit these tiny currents in sensitive circuits.
- through-hole
- A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
