Description

472pF 2kV Ceramic Capacitor

Product Overview

The 472pF 2kV Ceramic Capacitor is an electronic component designed for compatible circuits requiring a ceramic capacitor with a stated 2kV voltage rating. Ceramic capacitors are widely used in electronic equipment because of their compact construction, non-polarized design, and suitability for various circuit applications.

This product is listed as a ceramic capacitor with the marking 472PF-2kV. Before purchasing or installing it, verify the capacitance value and electrical characteristics against the manufacturer’s datasheet or the actual component marking.

Product Specifications

• Product Name: 472pF 2kV Ceramic Capacitor
• Component Type: Ceramic Capacitor
• Product Marking: 472PF-2kV
• Stated Voltage Rating: 2kV
• Polarity: Ceramic capacitors are generally non-polarized; confirm the component type if necessary.

Understanding the 472 Marking

The standard three-digit capacitor code 472 generally represents 4,700pF, equivalent to 4.7nF or 0.0047µF. However, the supplied product name states 472PF. This difference should be checked before publishing the final capacitance specification.

Accurate capacitance identification is important when selecting a replacement component. Always refer to the manufacturer’s datasheet or confirm the marking with the supplier rather than relying on the product title alone.

Ceramic Capacitor Features

Ceramic capacitors use ceramic material as the dielectric and conductive electrodes to store electrical charge. Their performance depends on the dielectric material, component construction, capacitance tolerance, and operating conditions.

Depending on the specific dielectric type, ceramic capacitors may offer good capacitance stability, low losses across suitable frequency ranges, and useful temperature characteristics. These properties vary between capacitor types, so they should not be assumed without the relevant datasheet.

The stated 2kV voltage rating makes voltage compatibility particularly important. The component should only be used where its verified specifications meet the circuit’s requirements.

Applications

Depending on its confirmed specifications, this ceramic capacitor may be considered for:

• Compatible electronic circuits
• Electronic equipment repair and maintenance
• Replacement of a matching ceramic capacitor
• Electronic projects requiring a suitable high-voltage-rated capacitor
• Circuit applications specified by the equipment manufacturer

These are general examples rather than guaranteed applications. Suitability depends on the actual capacitance, dielectric type, voltage conditions, and circuit design.

Choosing the Correct Replacement

When replacing a ceramic capacitor, compare more than its appearance and voltage rating. Check the capacitance, tolerance, dielectric characteristics, physical dimensions, lead spacing, and any pulse or safety requirements specified for the circuit.

A capacitor with a similar rating may not always be an appropriate substitute. Using a component with incorrect electrical characteristics can affect circuit operation or reliability.

For high-voltage equipment, installation and servicing should be carried out by a qualified person using appropriate safety procedures. Disconnect the equipment from its power source and ensure stored electrical energy has been safely discharged before servicing.

Product Summary

The 472pF 2kV Ceramic Capacitor is intended for compatible electronic applications where a ceramic capacitor with the required voltage rating is specified. Its compact, non-polarized construction is characteristic of ceramic capacitors.

Important: The product marking and stated capacitance should be verified with the supplier before purchase or installation. Confirm the complete datasheet specifications to ensure compatibility with the intended circuit.
