hi,
i dont even know if that is a capacitor?,...its looks like a Russian bypass cap placed over big electrolytic capacitors in my amplifier,...could you tell me what that little grey thing can be?
thanks

I have used those Siemens ones in the past.
The only problem was if on a double sided PCB there was a track running underneath and high voltage involved they could arc from the edge of the stack to the track.
Apart from that and the ends not being insulated they are fine and have low inductance.
I don't see a problem with the board they are shown in there.
 
I am analazing the channel circuit on my mixer. There is one of these 22pF capacitors on the first 741 op amp, but I dont know what it does. I am also looking to swap out the 741 for tlo71 as I have read its a safe transition, so I would like to know if it is needed with the new op amps, or if it is worth exchanging.


Thanks
