Re: [TCML] Ceramic Z5U capacitors 5600pF@18KV

[Gary Lau <glau1024@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think that the temperature coefficient of Z5U caps makes them too
unstable for TC use.  The tempco is stated as Z5U = +22%/-56% change
over -10°C~+85°C.  As ceamic caps are likely to be lossy, they will
rapidly heat up and change value.  See
