Product Overview
Through-Hole Film Capacitor for Signal-Level Circuits (Unused NOS)
This through-hole film capacitor is intended for stable signal handling in electronic circuits where predictable capacitance and low losses matter. Commonly selected for analog filtering, timing networks, and interference suppression, this value suits designs that balance compact size with electrical margin. A practical tip: film capacitors are often preferred over ceramics when linear behavior across frequency is important.
Product Condition
Unused, New Old Stock. Stored from original inventory and suitable for integration into new builds, repairs, or prototypes.
Product Overview
This capacitor provides a nominal capacitance of 2.2nF with a 100V rating in a radial, through-hole format. The marking code 222K100N corresponds to 2200pF nominal capacitance with a K tolerance class commonly used in general-purpose film capacitors. Film construction offers non-polarized operation, low dielectric losses, and consistent electrical behavior over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the code 222K100N indicate?
The code denotes 2200pF (2.2nF) nominal capacitance, a K tolerance class typically associated with ±10%, and a 100V voltage rating.
Is this capacitor polarized?
No. Film capacitors are non-polarized and can be used in both AC and DC circuits without regard to orientation.
How does a film capacitor compare to ceramic types?
Film capacitors generally offer more linear capacitance behavior, lower dielectric absorption, and reduced microphonic effects compared with many ceramic capacitors.
Is this suitable for power applications?
This value is intended for signal-level, timing, and suppression roles rather than high-energy power or motor run applications.
You can use this capacitor for high-frequency filtering or RC timing networks while benefiting from its non-polarized film construction; install it directly into a PCB or control board to complete a stable signal path.
