As the title says, whats the difference between these two capacitors, https://www.rapidonline.com/kemet-r82dc3100aa50k-100nf-63v-5mm-polyester-box-capacitor-10-3260 https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/KEMET/C0805C104KMREC7210?qs=sGAEpiMZZMs0AnBnWHyRQN7%2FAA2D2lPPiNnp3wDfsnbj3Ps1TMyQ%2FQ%3D%3D Please don't say "one is SMD, the other is through hole", i know that already :-DD I am more interested in why you would chose one over the other. Many thanks in advance Ian |

X7R ceramic dielectric can have a quite large voltage coefficient of capacitance which limits it to decoupling applications. This will also cause distortion in filters. Metalized film is self healing while ceramic tends to fail with a short. |
