Type FCA Acrylic Surface Mount Film Capacitors
Specications
Type FCA acrylic lm chips are non-inductive
stacked metallized film capacitors which
feature large capacitance values in standard
surface mount case sizes.

Filtering • Decoupling • Noise Attenuation • Distortion Free Audio
Type FCA acrylic film capacitors offer high
capacitance values in standard surface mount
case sizes. They excel in attenuating DC power
bus noise, and as ripple lters in dc to dc power
conversion circuits. As coupling capacitors in
audio circuits, they yield distortion free sound
and better high frequency ltering. The 1.0
µF 10 Vdc rating oers a lm capacitor that
is a direct replacement for tantalum “A” case
capacitors. The nonpolar FCA capacitor has
lower ESR and lower DCL than an equivalent
tantalum capacitor, and in high frequency
applications it takes a tantalum capacitor with
ten times the capacitance to perform as well
as the FCA capacitor.
The capacitor is constructed of noninductive
stacked layers of metallized acrylic resin lm
with lead free solder (Sn/Ag/Cu) plated copper
alloy terminals.
Complies with the EU Directive
2002/95/EC requirement
restricting the use of Lead (Pb),
Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd),
Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)),
PolyBrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
and PolyBrominated Diphenyl
Ethers (PBDE).
