I'm looking for about 0.02 uF (20nF) for a TC primary running at 500-700W power levels (21kV peak voltage).

I'm building several of these coils and casting about for currentlyavailable alternatives.

a MMC is a traditional alternative: a string of 11 942C20P15K(0.15uF/2kV) is 13.6 nF, P1K (0.1uF) is 9.1 nF.So you're looking at 2 strings in parallel to be in the right range andthat's about 22 capacitors at $3 each (for the 0.1 uF versions), oraround $70.


What else is available these days?
