Product Overview
Multilayer radial ceramic capacitor marked 562, designating a nominal capacitance of 5,600 pF (5.6 nF or 0.0056 µF). Built with a protective yellow dipped epoxy coating and formed standoff leads suitable for through-hole printed circuit board assembly or breadboard prototyping.
Key Features
- Capacitance: 5,600 pF / 5.6 nF (0.0056 µF), designated by EIA code 562
- Dielectric construction: Multilayer ceramic (MLCC)
- Termination: Radial through-hole leads with factory-formed standoff kinks
- Coating: Protective conformal yellow epoxy dip
- Mounting format: Cut carrier paper tape
Applications
- Decoupling and high-frequency bypass on digital logic rails and analog power inputs
- Frequency tuning and tone shaping stages in custom audio circuitry and guitar effects pedals
- Low-pass and high-pass filtering networks in synthesizer builds and breadboard prototypes
- Board-level repair and restoration of vintage electronics requiring a 5.6 nF radial ceramic replacement
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 562 marking indicate on this capacitor?
The 3-digit marking follows standard EIA capacitance coding. The first two digits (56) represent the significant figures and the third digit (2) represents the multiplier of 100, yielding 5,600 picofarads (5.6 nF or 0.0056 µF).
What are the voltage and tolerance ratings for this part?
Voltage rating and tolerance letter codes are not marked on the component bodies. For safety and circuit stability, use these in low-voltage signaling, filtering, or audio circuits.
Why buy individual pieces from PartsMine instead of large bulk lots?
Buying exact counts lets you finish a repair or build a prototype without purchasing and storing hundreds of excess parts. More pieces cost less each, and the price-break table on this page shows what each quantity costs. Orders ship for an $8 flat rate, qualify for free shipping at $28, and ship same or next business day from our Idaho warehouse.
A 5.6 nF ceramic cap will not steal the spotlight on a circuit board, but it keeps the noise down and the signal clean. Solder it in, trim the leads, and let your circuit run.
