    Quoted from Completist:

    I didn’t think it was a stoopid question. The only dumb question is the one you never ask when you don’t know the answer lol.
    Funny i was just replacing some disc caps on some playfield switches in my seawitch tonight. Check this out for scale - these are both the same value:

    Just a quick comment since I deal with this daily in my designs: They might have a different voltage rating, or the dielectric (the 'stuff' between the plates) has different properties. Could be ceramic, porcelain, X7R, Y5V, etc. Usually you trade one property off for another (i.e for size vs. performance, etc.).

    Here's a link for some quick info: https://www.electronics-notes.com/articles/electronic_components/capacitors/ceramic-dielectric-types-c0g-x7r-z5u-y5v.php

    Don't mean to sound like a 'know it all', just more of a FYI.

    That’s interesting, still learning stuff everyday!
    The ones i used are rated at 100V as well. Not sure about the construction of them though. I like to shop at GPE since Ed will often list what the part is used for in a pinball machine. Or if not i can email him and he will set me straight. These were listed as common switch matrix caps so i felt confident in buyin em

    Ed at GPE always gives good advice!
