LCR Components FSC Series General Purpose Film Capacitor, 47pF ±2.5%, 160V, Ax

The LCR Components FSC series axial leaded polystyrene capacitors are precision components designed for reliability and stability. Constructed using polystyrene as a superior dielectric material, they offer exceptionally high insulation resistance and low loss characteristics, making them ideal for demanding electronic applications where signal integrity is paramount.

These capacitors feature aluminium foil electrodes with terminal wires welded directly to them. This construction ensures satisfactory performance under low voltage and high frequency conditions, providing consistent and predictable behaviour in critical circuits. The FSC series is renowned for its extreme capacitance stability and low power factor, contributing to a high quality factor (Q) in resonant applications.

Key Features & Benefits

• Superior Dielectric: Polystyrene material provides excellent electrical properties.
• High Stability: Extreme capacitance stability over time and temperature.
• Low Loss: Features a low power factor for efficient circuit operation.
• Broad Operating Range: Reliable performance from -40°C to +85°C.
• Compact Size: Small physical footprint saves valuable board space.
• Precision Tolerances: Available with tight tolerances, including ±2.5% as in this model.

Typical Applications

The FSC series capacitors are primarily used in precision circuits where stable capacitance values are critical. Common applications include intermediate frequency (I.F.) transformers, tuned circuits for oscillators and filters, pulse shaping networks, laboratory standards, timing circuits, and both analogue and digital computing circuits. Their reliability makes them suitable for industrial equipment, consumer electronics, portable devices, and power management systems.
