low value film caps

[almondcity]

I never realized these existed until now, has anyone been using film caps in place of ceramic for < 1nf values? Similar to below

5 PACK WIMA FKP2 470pf 100V 2.5% Polypropylene Film Foil Capacitors

Is there any downside to using them over ceramic?

Expense is probably the only one, maybe form factor if a PCB was designed around ceramics and tightly packed.

Make sure you get a low voltage rating (63V or 100V) or they will be physically large.

I have some of those. They are just a tad beefier than a standard film cap.
