Need help identifying a ceramic capacitor

[Ngc4565]

Hey guys I'm going to replace my power switch on my realistic sta 2300 I also want to replace this capacitor can somebody help identify the values of this, I see the 125 volt but I don't know how to identify the rest of it thanks

I'm going to say 103 is the key here which gives it a rating of 10,000 pF, or 0.01 uF.

103Z


103 ----> .01µf
Z -----> being tolerance code ---> -20% + 80%

Great thank you

If it's on a power switch, you might want to consider whether it needs to be safety rated.

I can't see any markings that suggest it might be such, but it would be worth checking both sides of the device (look for a UR logo, or X or Y rating). Circuit position also will be a clue: directly across the mains input, or across switch terminals are likely to need a safety capacitor.

Yes it is on the power switch but there's no other markings on the other side

In that case, I would go for a safety capacitor.

I will thanks for the info
