Hi,

They look worryingly inductive on visual inspection (there are metal
foils rolled up in thar by the look of it.) And yet the CPC catalogue
says that their properties make them ideal for use in filters. Has
anyone any remarks (favourable or otherwise) to make about the use of
this type of cap in filter apps?

p.

They're great for LC filters. If you choose your ferrite right, you
can have a pretty stable filter over temperature. Problem is, not many
people make these any more. For production, avoid them due to
availability. If you're worried about inductance, that probably means
that you're in the MHz region which means you can use NPO (COG)
ceramic. Easier to get.
