Interesting. I'm inclined to say I stand corrected, BUT: (i) as Mark noted, the datasheet link points to the datasheet for Vishay FC Series HF thin-film resistors [which are really excellent low-reactance T/F resistors, if you need any]; (ii) I cannot find any reference to PC caps on the Vishay/BC web site; and (iii) other distributors do not list this cap (or any Vishay/BC PC caps, for that matter).

I did discover Electronic Concepts (ECI) (https://www.ecicaps.com/), who claim to make their own PC film and do seem to supply three series of PC caps. They seem mainly to make them to order, but they have small quantities of some parts in stock. Prices are by quotation, so I don't know what they charge. I assume they are pretty pricey, and if they run out of an in-stock cap there may be a minimum order to get more.

So, I do stand corrected.

All that said, PP and PPS are the best choices for the A9 integrator project.

Best regards,

Charles

Mouser shows one (around $7 for a 4.7 uF cap):

But, the datasheet link goes to a resistor...
