Regarding, the capacitor, our technical support, Jeff Heaton wrote: 1. If the customer has the ability to add an embedded capacitor in the layers of his board, this is the best lowest cost solution. Then we can save the expense of adding the capacitor inside of the connector. We (HA= LO and ERNI) have a solution designed specifically for this application, HAL= O part number HFJ11-S050E. = 2. If the customer does use one of our many solutions with the built in 2KV 1000pF capacitors there should be no reason to add an additional isolation cap on the board. I hope that this answers the question.

As we all know discrete capacitors are lousy at high frequency, due= = to lead inductance. Will there be either any beneficial or negative EMI = impacts?
