Electron XG.5-473D 0.047uF 50VDC 5% Vintage Capacitor
Full Description & History
Vintage Electron XG.5-473D axial capacitor marked .047 MFD ±5% and 50VDC. Metal-cased axial construction with wire leads. Nominal capacitance is 0.047uF / 47nF. Bench tested at 47.75nF using a DE-5000 LCR meter and PASSED the marked ±5% capacitance tolerance. Suitable for vintage stereo equipment, audio amplifiers, linear amplifiers, radios, test equipment, and restoration projects where the electrical specifications match.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Capacitors in the 0.047uF range have been widely used in vintage electronic equipment for coupling, bypass, filtering, tone-control, and other signal applications. Components of this older construction are particularly useful to restorers working on vintage stereo receivers, audio amplifiers, radio equipment, linear amplifiers, and period electronics where older-style components may be desirable.
