Type FCA acrylic surface mount film capacitors are non-inductive stacked metallized film capacitors which feature large capacitance values in standard surface mount case sizes
The FCA series are non‑inductive, stacked metallized film capacitors offered in standard surface‑mount case sizes. They feature low ESR, no piezoelectric effect, and are non‑polarized, making them suitable for high‑frequency filtering and decoupling.
Typical applications include audio coupling, PLL circuits, and filtering in switching power supplies, where the FCA capacitors achieve comparable ripple reduction to much larger tantalum parts while maintaining low distortion and stable performance over temperature.
