Product Overview
Film-and-foil polypropylene construction delivers low dielectric absorption and high capacitance stability across temperature changes. MIAL Type 636 2 offers a tight ±2.5% tolerance in a compact axial tubular form factor well suited for analog timing networks, RF tuning, and precision audio filters.
Key Features
- 3300 pF (3.3 nF) nominal capacitance
- 160 V DC rated working voltage at 40 °C
- ±2.5% tolerance (tolerance code H)
- Low-loss polypropylene film dielectric
- Clear tubular outer wrap with red outer-foil end indicator ring
- Straight axial wire leads
Applications
- Analog audio equalizers, tone stacks, and active crossover filters
- Precision timing and sample-and-hold networks needing minimal dielectric absorption
- Oscillator and radio-frequency tuning stages requiring low drift
- Restoring legacy audio equipment and analog instruments with era-correct passive components
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the red band at one end of the capacitor body indicate?
The red ring marks the outer foil termination. Connecting that lead to circuit ground or the lowest-impedance node helps shield the inner winding against electrical noise and RF pickup.
What is the lead termination style?
This capacitor features axial wire leads extending straight from opposite ends of the cylindrical body.
Can this 3300 pF capacitor replace a 3.3 nF or 0.0033 µF rated component?
Yes. 3300 pF, 3.3 nF, and 0.0033 µF describe the identical capacitance value in different metric units. Order more and each piece costs less - the price-break table on this page spells it out.
A foil-and-film polypropylene build that keeps its value right where the circuit needs it. Solder it into your filter network and let the analog path breathe.
