  • Voltage Rating is the most important to ensure long operational life and reliability, overrate 1.5 times. If max voltage capacitor will face is 15V then use 25V rating capacitor.
  • SMPS-ESR means Equivalent series Resistance at high SMPS frequency, the capacitor adds a inductance by the way it is constructed. So use Caps in Parallel for Lower ESR.
  • For Oscillators and A-D Converters choose Plastic Multilayer Caps as they leak less and have low temperature sensitivity.
  • Ceramic and Elcap are for Filtering and decoupling and are low priced too.
  • Electrolytic Caps back2back in series can make non-polar caps for Low current AC like AF, as used in a cross-over network of loud speaker of stereo system.
  • NPO "negative-positive-zero" caps and most plastic caps can be used for Oscillators as the negative and positive temperature coefficients are very less.
  • Most Plastic Caps are wound, so have inductance, which makes them unsuitable for filtering RF.
  • X and Y caps are special EMI-RFI filter caps, suppress interference and are safe at high voltage.
