Varies by seller - typically available in:
Avoid using highK dielectrics (X5R, X7R) in precision timing circuits - capacitance varies with DC bias and temperature
Avoid exceeding rated voltage for 50V rated parts, recommended operating voltage is typically ≤40V
Avoid placing decoupling capacitors too far from ICs increased trace inductance reduces effectiveness at high frequencies
