tl;dr: ESL is dominated by packaging inductance so the geometry of the capacitor matters a lot more than the value
3 terminal capacitors are the cheapest "low inductance" capacitor that have a meaningfully better ESL. If you need better than that you should use an EM field solver to properly understand PDN impedance.
- thrtythreeforty 2y agoYes, but the regular 2 terminal kind round to free at JLC on my hobby projects!
- nimish 2y agoFree > better, I've only used 3-terminal caps once out of curiousity
