Hi,
Let me make sure I understand the physical connection first.
1) You solder the Bypass Cap to the same two Pad points of the cap being bypassed?
2) And you are achieving something BETTER than just replacing the cap you want to bypass with a bigger and better cap??
I'm having a problem getting a handle on this, if my first question is true.

The electrolytic (aluminum can radial type) cap is bypassed with a high quality PIO or film and foil, poly foil...Teflon and foil...that is anywhere from 10 to 100 times smaller in capacitance to the electrolytic cap you plan on bypassing. <<<<SNIP>>>>>>>>>>>>> Peete. |
