T1

Bill Scovell
This is probably a question that Ron could answer before I trouble Sott or Brian.
The one 20pF capacitor supplied with my T1 kit is a small NPO (black edge) device with no voltage marking, it  looks like a 50V item to me but maybe the're getting smaller.
This part is for C2 which is spec'd at 500V --- should this part carry a voltage rating?
TIA

Hi Bill,

This cap is indeed rated at 500 V, despite the lack of a voltage label.
(If you have the courage to do destructive testing, we'll send you a
replacement  ;)

All the caps in the T1's L-network are rated at 500 or 1000 V to ensure
reliability when using max power at very high SWR.
