Someone asked about the best prices on ceramic caps. The best I know
of at the moment for quality caps from a quality supplier are the
Vishay S Series from Newark:
<http://www.newark.com/vishay-bc-components/s103m47z5un63l0r/capacitor-ceramic-0-01uf-1kv-z5u/dp/83K9283>
The link is to .01 uF/1000 V Z5U parts at $0.152 ea ($0.086 each for
100). In stock.
Don't worry an instant about using a .01 uF ceramic to replace a .02
uF paper cap in a bypassing application. Or parallel two, if you're
worried about it.
Note that ceramic caps can absorb moisture if they are stored in very
humid conditions, so there is good reason to prefer new parts from
reliable suppliers.
Best regards,
Don
