* Some go to 175°C with voltage derating.
** Class cased NPO capacitors work up to 200°C in small values (below 1000pf) and derated voltage.
*** Teflon® film can go to 175°C with low values and derated voltages.
NOTE : Many factors affect cost and this relative listing may change depending on specific situations (particularly higher temperature in a class). Specific manufacturer’s may vary from data shown (reference only).
