There is a glare on the part, but I believe I see an E, that means 25V assuming this part follows the general marking standard
E5M it reads.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP FINE IF NOT PLEASE DON"T PEE IN MY CHEERO'S
OK thanks!Originally Posted by crust
Do you by chance have a link to the marking standards?

They are in a book I have, but a quick search yielded this. I didn't check it so I can't attest to its correctness.
Yes thats the same one I found... its perfect
I was always under the impression ceramic caps could withstand a number of KV, thank good i asked!!

Most ceramic capacitors can only stand from 25V to 100V but some are only rated to 16V.
I do not answer private messages asking for help because no one else can: benefit from advice I may give or correct me if I'm wrong.
Please ask on the open forum if you have a question and I'll be happy to help, if I know the answer.
In the olden days, the ceramic caps that were used in tube circuits had to withstand several hundred volts. And some high power transmitter circuits run on well over a thousand volts. Thus the typical ceramic cap was designed to withstand high voltages. Now there's not much need for such high voltages so the caps are correspondingly lower voltage since a lower voltage cap can use a thinner insulator between conducting layers, making the cap physically smaller.
It's usually the blue circular ones that are high voltage, they commonly go faulty in TV's - easy to spot though, they either have an obvious burnt spot on them, or a burnt split.
