F11 and F18 Decoupling Capacitors | Nichicon

The F11 series uses layered aluminum construction, conductive polymer electrolyte, and a unique three terminal design all in a molded package. This structure decreases the magnetic field and inductance at ultra high frequency so the part achieves excellent impedance characteristics over a wide frequency range. Because the F11 series has large capacitance and ultra low ESR/ESL it can be used to reduce the total number capacitors now required using conventional capacitors. This will decrease costs, save valuable board real estate and simplify mounting. The F11 presently has a voltage range of 2.5V to 6.3V and a capacitance range of 47µF to 2400µF. The operating temperature range is -55 to +105°C. Two sizes are presently available F size (16.7×12.1×2.5mm) and D size (8.5×5.3×2.0mm). The F18 has a two terminal design with a voltage range of 2.5V to 6.3V and capacitance range of 22uF to 450uF. Because of it’s face down structure, it has a low ESL and a lower impedance at a higher frequency. The F18 can also reduce boardspace by replacing several polymers and ceramics with one piece.
