Type FCA
Acrylic Surface Mount Film Capacitors
Acrylic Stacked Metallized Film Capacitors for Filtering and Noise Attenuation
Type FCA acrylic film chips are non-inductive
stacked metallized film capacitors which feature
large capacitance values in standard surface
mount case sizes.

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 filters in dc to dc power
conversion circuits. As coupling capacitors in
audio circuits, they yield distortion free sound
and better high frequency filtering. The 1.0 µF 10
Vdc rating offers a film 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 film
with lead free solder (Sn/Ag/Cu) plated copper
alloy terminals.
