hardener

Electronic components; Capacitors

A substance or mixture of substances added to plastic composition, or an adhesive to promote or control the curing reaction by taking part in it.

harmonic

Electronic components; Capacitors

An integral multiple of the fundamental frequency (60 Hz) that becomes a component of the current.

harmonic distortion

Electronic components; Capacitors

Distortion of an AC waveform caused by multiples of the fundamental frequency (harmonics). Odd triplet harmonics (thirds, ninths, etc.) may result in large currents on the ...

heat sink

Electronic components; Capacitors

Any device that absorbs and draws off heat from a hot object, radiating it into the surrounding atmosphere.

hertz

Electronic components; Capacitors

A term replacing cycles -per-second as an indication of frequency.
