I am replacing a Black Cat, .033MFD, 1000V and I am looking to do so with a film capacitor. I was told by a salesman that a 333K, 630G would work. I asked what did the underscore K meant and why is there was a dot under the 3 in 630? What does the G mean and how do I know if its rated for 1000V. He said he didn't know and could not explain.
So I understand the capacitance code (see Capacitor Codes Chart below) for .033MFD is 333 if it was a plain K I would say it = ± 10% but its an underlined K so I don't know.
As far as the 630 with a dot under the 3 all I can guess is 630 volts but as to why the dot who knows?. If it is 630V so this would pop before the 1000V needed. Does the 630 followed by a G = ± 2% or something else? Can anyone explain this? - Tom
Capacitor tolerance codes: F = ± 1%; G = ± 2%; J = ± 5%; K = ± 10%; M = ± 20%; Z = + 80% / -20%;.
