Product Overview
Sprague/Vishay K25-470 ceramic disc capacitor. 47 picofarads, 50V rating, ±10% tolerance (K code). Through-hole mount with radial leads. Non-polarized passive component. Sprague Electric was acquired by Vishay in 1992 - any Sprague-marked stock is New Old Stock by definition. Orange disc body approximately 4mm wide with silver leads extending roughly 42mm total.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this capacitor polarized?
No. Ceramic disc capacitors are non-polarized. Install in either orientation.
What is the dielectric type - C0G, X7R, Y5V?
Not confirmed for this specific part number. Verify against datasheet before use in applications where temperature stability or low dielectric loss at high frequencies is critical.
Will the leads fit standard PCB through-hole spacing?
The leads measure approximately 42mm total length and the body is approximately 4mm wide, consistent with standard ceramic disc capacitor form factor. Trim leads to match your board spacing as needed.
Is a datasheet or documentation included?
Not included.
Sprague ceramic discs have been showing up in repairs since the transistor radio era. This one never made it into a circuit - now it is waiting for yours.
