Frequently Asked Questions
Is this safe for tube amplifier circuits?
Only in low-voltage stages. This capacitor is rated 100V DC. Do not use in high-voltage plate circuits where 400V or higher is present. It is suitable for tone stacks, cathode bypass, and similar low-voltage positions.
Will it fit a guitar control cavity or compact pedal enclosure?
Lead spacing is 5mm. Physical body dimensions are not confirmed - verify clearance against your layout before ordering if space is tight.
Is 0.022uF the correct value for a standard Humbucker tone circuit?
Yes. 0.022uF (223) is the standard tone cap value for Humbucker-equipped guitars. It is also widely used in single-coil circuits by builders seeking a darker roll-off.
Can this be used for AC line filtering?
No. This is not an X or Y rated capacitor. It is not suitable for AC mains filtering applications.
