Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a filter capacitor with a combined inductor. Background Art

[0002] The function of a filter capacitor is to filter and eliminate DC signals and high-frequency noise in a circuit. To improve the filtering effect, capacitors and inductors are usually combined to form a filter. However, common-mode interference and differential-mode interference are often present in the circuit, so common-mode and differential-mode filter circuits must be designed, which makes the circuit more complex. In actual applications, designers usually design the circuit and then solder the required capacitors and inductors to the circuit board. This method has drawbacks: the welding quality is not stable enough, and the filter performance cannot be tested separately, resulting in low circuit reliability. Secondly, directly soldered components have weak impact resistance and are not suitable for environments with high impact. Furthermore, when the capacitor capacitance is large, direct soldering is not possible, requiring more complex and troublesome measures. Capacitors and inductors are components that generate a lot of heat. If they are accidentally dumped onto the circuit board, the high temperature will affect other components on the board, ultimately leading to more serious consequences. Summary of the Invention
