Previous set of Capacitor Terms
Ganged Tuning: A variable capacitor connected in parallel with another variable capacitor so that as one is varied they both change by the same degree.
Glass Capacitor: A capacitor that uses a glass dielectric. Glass dielectric is one of the most stable, inert materials available. Glass doesn’t corrode or degrade in any way. Glass is not subject to microfractures, delaminations, and other problems associated with certain crystalline materials.
Green Glass Capacitor: A capacitor that uses a green glass dielectric, with a dielectric constant of 8.3.
GTO Capacitor: GTO capacitors are especially designed to attenuate voltage spikes on GTO (Gate-Turn-Off) Thyristors and IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor).
