Non-snake oil input coupling cap recommendation

[bogdan_borko]

The Kemet looks fine if you don't mind paying over $4 a pop, compared to the 1206 version which will set you back $0.85 for ten (on Mouser). Unreasonably affordable for NP0 caps, I had to read the datasheet through to check its not a mistake!

Apart from the diminished size which means less noise pick-up, I can't think of any advantages of NP0 over metallized PP.

Hi, they don't make larger values then 100nF for 1206 NP0?

I used Wurth 1uF general purpose on my latest test board.

Wima metallized polypropylene is still the best bang for the buck:
