Product Overview
These 56 pF radial ceramic disc capacitors are rated for 1 kV (1,000 VDC) operation in high-voltage electronic assemblies. Built with conformal blue epoxy coating and long wire leads, they provide stable capacitance for bypass, snubber, and RF filtering stages.
Key Features
- Capacitance: 56 pF (marked 56)
- Voltage rating: 1 kV (1,000 VDC)
- Dielectric type: Ceramic disc with blue conformal epoxy coating
- Body diameter: 5 mm (measured across disc)
- Termination: Two-pin radial through-hole straight wire leads
Applications
- High-voltage snubber networks across switching transistors and transformer primaries
- RF coupling, bypass, and tuning networks in tube amplifiers and radio gear
- Arc suppression across relay contacts and power switches
- Hobbyist high-voltage power supplies, Tesla coils, and multiplier ladders
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 56 marking signify on this capacitor?
The two-digit marking 56 indicates a direct picofarad rating of 56 pF, without an exponent multiplier. The 1KV marking directly below designates the 1,000-volt dielectric breakdown rating.
Are the leads straight or pre-formed?
The leads are full-length straight radial wire leads designed for standard through-hole printed circuit boards or point-to-point terminal wiring.
Why buy individual 56 pF capacitors instead of a large assortment pack?
Buying specific ratings lets you source the exact count required for your build or repair bench without stocking unwanted values. Buying more pieces costs less each, and the price-break table on this page shows what each quantity costs. Standard shipping is an $8 flat rate, orders over $28 ship free, and everything ships from our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
A classic blue disc built to handle a kilovolt without flinching. Drop it into your snubber or tank circuit and let the high voltage do its job quietly.
