Abstract :
It has been demonstrated that plastic film chip capacitors are suitable for SMT (surface-mount technology) requirements. The only drawback is a mechanical size that is three times larger than the MLC (multilayer capacitor) chip, limiting the use of the film chips in the field of mixed technology (leaded+leadless). Film chip becomes a necessity where a medium-high capacitance value is required with high stability, low failure rate, low nonlinear distortion, and no piezoelectric effect, as for Hi-Fi application, car radio, optical reading, and data-line transmission
