LCR Components General Purpose Polystyrene Film Capacitor, 680pF ±1%, 250V

The LCR Components FSC/EX series is a range of high-precision, axial leaded polystyrene film/foil capacitors. These components are engineered for stability and reliability, constructed with an extended tin foil and utilising polystyrene as the dielectric material. This construction is renowned for its excellent electrical properties, including low dielectric absorption, high insulation resistance, and outstanding capacitance stability over time and temperature, making these capacitors ideal for critical circuit applications.

This specific model offers a precise capacitance of 680pF with a tight tolerance of ±1%, ensuring consistent performance in demanding designs. It is rated for 250V AC and 630V DC, providing a robust voltage handling capability for a wide range of electronic circuits. The axial through-hole mounting with PC pin terminals facilitates easy and secure installation on printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Key Applications & Features

The FSC/EX series capacitors are highly recommended for use in intermediate frequency (IF) transformers, tuned circuits, pulse networks, and as laboratory standards where precision is paramount. They are equally suited to timing circuits and both analogue and digital computing circuits, offering the necessary stability for accurate signal processing and frequency control.

With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, these capacitors are built to perform reliably in challenging environmental conditions, covering industrial, consumer electronics, portable device, and power management applications. The series offers a broad selection, with capacitance values ranging from 47pF to 100nF and multiple tolerance options (±1%, ±2%, ±5%, ±10%) across various voltage ratings (63V, 160V, 250V, 630V DC).
