Type FCN Surface Mount Film Capacitors
Stable Stacked Metallized Film (PEN) Chips for Reflow Soldering
Type FCN capacitors are designed for applications requiring a
general purpose SMT capacitor with stable temperature and
frequency characteristics similar to polyester film capacitors.
They are ideal for applications such as EMI noise filtering, power
supply input/output filters, audio or signal coupling, and IC
power bus bypassing or decoupling. FCN SMT capacitors have
a non-inductive stacked metallized PEN film construction which
results in a low ESR and excellent high frequency performance.

Designed for reflow soldering
Type FCN SMT capacitors are the general purpose line of CDE’s
surface mount product offerings. They range in capacitance from
.001 µF to 1.0 µF, and they are available in voltage ratings up to
400 Vdc.
