What value for this capacitor ?

can some one help me ?
what value for this capacitor ?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

IMO, I would think 75pf and 1000 volts.

Maybe you can find the schematic somewhere (online maybe).

Not sure what SEC means but S is 22% tolerance. You need a more clear answer on that because who knows, SEC might be a manufacturer code.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

BTW, what did you use to get a close up picture with that much detail and that sharp and so close?

SEC is the mfr. code.

Hi,

This one is not used as a capacitor, but as a spark-gap (probably 1KV).
LV

*the invisible gap now becomes blatantly obvious*

D'OH!

Yeah, CRT boards laying around here have a few of these.

thank you
This caps. is from broken network hub.

I use nikon coolpix S200 digital camera 7M pixel and optical zoom.
and cropping this picture because is so big..

This is not a capacitor, it is a surge voltage protector. It can be found on every network card in PCs, in modems etc. Normally it is open circuit, but for overvoltage it is short circuit. You can not measure it. I've never seen one faulty.

Well, it is still capacitor by definition. 75pF is not that small capacity... Of couse the main job is the overvoltage protection, but that does not mean the capacitance is not there

Of course, this is just nitpicking

This part is a spark gap rated for 1,000 volts. As stated above, it to protect the circuit against surge voltages (greater than 1,000 volts). However the capacitance for this part is extremely low .75pF. Under normal operating conditions (no surges) this part has essentially no effect on the circuit. Also as stated above these parts rarely fail. One thing that can cause a problem is if debris or dirt gets into the slit (gap) causing a leakage path. You can clear out an foreign material by simply running a piece of paper through the gap.
