Product Overview
Illinois Capacitor .01K 400 T - 0.01 uF (10 nF), 400 V DC radial film capacitor
Condition
Used and in good cosmetic shape; shows signs of normal use, including scuffs, scratches, and minor wear. The photo shows a representative unit from our stock. Same or next business day shipping from our Idaho warehouse. Honest pricing, no nonsense. Online since 1999. We are here for our customers, with a no-hassle satisfaction guarantee.
Product Overview
The photographed unit is an orange-red dipped rectangular body on two straight parallel radial leads, printed with the lowercase ic house logo over .01K and 400 T. That reads as 0.01 uF (10 nF), plus or minus 10 percent (K), 400 V DC. Illinois Capacitor, now part of Cornell Dubilier, publishes film lines and no ceramic line at all, so this is a dipped film capacitor, not a ceramic disc. Against the scale in the photos the body is roughly 8 mm wide and 9 mm tall with leads about 30 mm long.
Key Features
- Capacitance: 0.01 uF (10 nF), read from the .01 on the body
- Tolerance: plus or minus 10 percent (K), the standard EIA tolerance letter Illinois Capacitor uses in its own ordering numbers
- Rated voltage: 400 V DC
- Construction: dipped film body, radial leads, bright lead color
- Marking: ic logo, .01K, 400 T. The "T" is a suffix on the body, not a catalogue part number, and is not decoded here
- Series: not marked. The catalogued Illinois Capacitor item at this value, voltage and tolerance is 103MSR400K in the metallized polyester MSR series, which is a likely match and not a confirmed one
- Not established for this unit: series, dimensions beyond the in-frame measurement, lead spacing, AC rating, dissipation factor, temperature range
Verify against Illinois Capacitor's published MSR series data before designing in.
Applications
- Coupling and decoupling in tube and solid-state audio stages
- Snubber and bypass duty where a 400 V DC margin is wanted
- Timing and filter sections in vintage gear repair
- Drop-in replacement for a tired 0.01 uF 400 V radial film cap
Frequently Asked Questions
How many should I order?
Order the count your build needs. We hold 249 of these on the shelf, sold each, so a repair pair or a strip of twenty both come off the same bin. Shipping is $8 flat rate and free on orders over $28, so small parts like this ship smartest as part of a larger order.
Is this a ceramic disc?
No. The body in the photos is a flat dipped rectangle on straight radial leads, which is film construction, and Illinois Capacitor's line card carries film, electrolytic, polymer and supercapacitor families with no ceramic line to put a disc in.
An orange rectangle with four characters on it, holding 400 volts and asking nothing of anybody.
