    Actually, if you want complete spark suppression, you need TWO capacitors per flipper: one for the cabinet flipper button switch and one for the flipper assembly's EOS switch.

    Here is the correct .1 uf @ 500 volt ceramic disc capacitor for the flipper button switch:

    Here is the correct 2.2 uf @ 250 volt axial mylar (a.k.a. polyester) capacitor for the EOS switch:

    Quoted from frunch:

    That's very good info, thanks for posting. On double-stacked flipper cabinet switches (such as used on my BK), i presume 2 caps will be needed? One cap for each pair of contacts?

    Yes indeed.
