• Naked SMD film capacitors are smaller and generally less expensive. Naked stacked capacitors are the most size efficient, naked wound caps are larger but do not delaminate.

• In some cases (especially in lower voltages) naked SMD capacitors can be offered in larger capacitance values for a given size / voltage.

• Encapsulated SMD capacitors withstand higher soldering temperatures and do not delaminate.

• Encapsulated SMD capacitors offer better flammability characteristics, especially in PEN dielectric.

• The electrical properties of encapsulated SMD capacitors (especially in PEN dielectric) are less affected by humidity.

• Encapsulated SMD capacitors withstand a wider range of chemicals and substances found in certain applications, for instance gasoline.

Evox Rifa offers a construction to meet every need:

• Naked stacked film in sizes down to 0603.
• Naked wound film in sizes down to 2220.
• Encapsulated film in sizes down to 2220.
• MLCC in sizes down to 0201.
