Abstract
Abstract A printed circuit board, preferably, including a feed-through capacitor having outer and inner conductors separated by a dielectric through which the outer and inner conductors capacitively couple. An electrical energy carrying printed circuit line which is to be filtered is connected to the capacitor outer conductor. The inner conductor is connected to a local ground potential.
