Slightly off-topic, but what exactly was the function of the "pottery capacitor" that I found in he part list of one of the far east origine EUT's..... I took it as a tribute to Pieter van Musschenbroeck who in a way discovered the capacitor about 25 km from where I live. Gert Gremmen

The impedance of the capacitor is even lower for those fast transitions than it is for the SMPS hash on the supply lines. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
