Clean new-old-stock components with bright, legible markings and long leads. Lead bends vary from storage and handling.
Specifications:
• Brand: El-Menco
• Nominal capacitance: 21 pF
• Marked tolerance: ±5%
• Construction: Dipped silver mica
• Body marking: EM–3

• Quantity: 25 capacitors per lot
A sample of 27 capacitors from this inventory was measured for capacitance, with closely grouped results averaging just 2.31% above nominal:
• Average measured capacitance: 21.49 pF
• Measured range: 20.3–22.2 pF
• 24 of 27 measured within the marked ±5% tolerance
• Three measured slightly above tolerance: two at 22.1 pF and one at 22.2 pF
These results apply to the tested sample. Every capacitor offered has not been individually tested. Testing covered capacitance only; leakage and working-voltage performance have not been verified.
For vintage electronics restoration and RF projects requiring this capacitance and construction. Working-voltage rating is not confirmed.
Photographs are representative of the inventory. Each purchase includes 25 capacitors. Multiple lots are available.
