I think he's looking for something that can hold a Redstone signal until it is discharged.
I'm not sure how you would do that. Some sort of Repeater loop broken upon discharge might work.
Perhaps one could use the properties of redstone itself to break a self-setting loop? For example, if a one meter length of redstone leads to a blocks, it can power the block. If it is, say, turned away from the block by another length of redstone, it would not power the block. Placing that redstone to redirect the current could be your "plug-in" action. The redstone is just a piston transistor, pulse limiter and short pulse clock (likely repeaters).
So I didn't really look at this thread past the first page, so I just went ahead and built something that is, in my mind close to a capacitor, but I succumbed to the temptation of using repeaters, basically, this little contraption takes a redstone charge from the input, slowly charges itself up, delaying the circuit, and will then hold the charge for a bit after its input is off, its override switch allows for the output to be toggled even when the device is charged up, again, I have only a loose idea of what a capacitor is, so i expect my device is barely even one, as it only holds its charge temporarily. anyways, here's a screenshot of the innards.

Here's my attempt. It passes high frequency and stores low frequency. When power is removed the charge is passed out via the positive terminal. Like a real electrolytic, it only works in one direction.
If it doesn't explode if you invert the polarity, it's not a TRUE capacitor!!!
lol, yea. and smell horrible.
also, redstone is digital, not analog, and capacitors are analog, so...
why do you want a capacitor?
or, at least, what function of it do you want? it's signal smooth-ening, it's power storage, it's memory...
you can't really make a "true capacitor" in minecraft.

go fast like sanic.

keeps a power state, which is changed when you push the button.
