Substitute For Ceramic Capacitor

The original part is ceramic non polarized.

Substitute for ceramic capacitor.

Finally i could put several smaller high voltage ceramic capacitors in parallel so that the load is split over many. There are two classes of ceramic capacitors available today. Class 1 and class 2. You are also right the original part is 470 pf.

I went ahead and ordered the 47 uf stacked metal film caps. Ceramic capacitor definition a ceramic capacitor is a capacitor which uses a ceramic material as the dielectric. The two most common types are multi layer ceramic capacitors and ceramic disc capacitors. Ceramic capacitors were first developed in the 1920s in germany as a substitute for mica dielectrics.

Polystyrene capacitors are generally unavailable nowadays. I meant 47 uf. A ceramic capacitor is a fixed value capacitor where the ceramic material acts as the dielectric it is constructed of two or more alternating layers of ceramic and a metal layer acting as the electrodes the composition of the ceramic material defines the electrical behavior and therefore applications. The mod i am doing they call it the voodoo chile mod says to substitute the 470pf cap for a 47 uf cap.

For example 10 100 pf ceramic capacitors in parallel is much cheaper than 1 1000 pf silver mica capacitor and the ceramic capacitors are rated for 2 kv while the mica is rated for 500 v. However mica capacitors can be replaced with ceramic capacitors in general. Characteristics precision and tolerances. Ideally though again depending on the application use a replacement as a temp.

Per the iec guidelines. In the 21st century the international electrotechnical commission iec currently separates ceramic capacitors into two classes.
