[sdiy] SMD capacitors : choosing dielectric type

[Frédéric Meslin (Gmail)]

Hi Jay S.

Thank you for your answer but soldering issues with 1206 or 805 SMD
caps are not big problems for me. I have the tools for soldering
this kind of components.

I think PPS caps are rather good according to this article :

Do you think so ?

Thank you by advance,
Frédéric.
