Frequently Asked Questions
Can this capacitor be used in both AC and DC circuits?
Yes. The 50V ceramic disc design supports general-purpose coupling and decoupling for AC and DC applications within its rated voltage range.
What is the temperature stability like?
Ceramic disc capacitors offer moderate stability, ideal for non-critical timing or filtering circuits where cost and compactness are key.
Is this component polarized?
No, ceramic disc capacitors are non-polarized and can be installed in either orientation.
How should NOS components be stored before use?
Keep them in a dry environment at room temperature to preserve insulation and lead integrity for future soldering.
Use this 470pF capacitor in an RF tuning network or signal bypass circuit, benefiting from its radial-lead through-hole format for secure PCB mounting and long-term reliability.
