The function of the bypass capacitor is to dampen the AC, or the noise. Another term used for the bypass capacitor is a filter cap. In the chart on the left, you can see the what happens to a noisy voltage when a by-pass capacitor is installed.ou can see even with the bypass, the voltage does fluctuate, even though it is to a smaller degree. The key function of the bypass capacitor is to reduce the amount of ripple in a circuit. Too much ripple is bad, and can lead to failure of the circuit.
1 There are two major types of interference-suppression / AC line filter safety capacitors; namely, type X and type Y. The purpose of these capacitors is to reduce radio frequency interference and to ensure safety from shock and fire. In AC/DC (radios that do not use power transformers) radios where a line filter capacitor is connected between the hot and ground side of the power line, that capacitor is known as an across-the-line capacitor. 2  Across the line capacitors serve to keep RF noise disturbances from affecting the receiver.
