Bypass capacitor

Standard nonpolarized bypass capacitor schematic symbol in clean black textbook-style line art, shown as two equal parallel straight plates separated by a small gap with short straight terminal leads. The symbol is compact, minimalist, and typically vertically oriented for use as a shunt or bypass capacitor from a source, emitter, supply rail, or other circuit node to ground in amplifier and electronics schematics. Balanced technical-symbol proportions; it may be labeled as a source- or emitter-bypass capacitor such as Cs, and can optionally include the lower lead terminating at a ground symbol to make the shunt-to-ground connection explicit.
