Ceramic cap lable weird??

[Helping Friendly]

So I can't figure out the value of this cap? Here's what it says:
Mexico
52L
30K
1KV

I think its 10, 20, or 30 pf. Not sure though
Any help would be forever grateful! Thanks

Re: Ceramic cap lable weird??

it's obviously 1000v
the 30k may be a stability figure.
52L is a challenge.
maybe 500pf

got a foto for size?

30pf would be my thought, also. I believe the 52L is ignored. It could be some sort of manufacturer marking.

Can we see the pictures and also show us where in the circuit it is being used at?

will do pic when I get home form work. It is sort of a brightness cap in a guitar amp. Its a small ceramic cap "normally" 10pf or 20pf but can vary from amp to amp. Mine seems on the dark side but I wouldn't know the difference cause this is the first amp I have owned of this particular model. (Mesa Boogie Mark 3) Hmm....

Diagram, a little hard to read.

SO I figured out it says S2L and not 52L
30K
1kV
so most likely a 30pf huh?

I'm fairly certain it's 30pF. The K is the tolerance (10%).

Hopefully, this info is accurate: http://m.wikihow.com/Read-Capacitor

I believe S2L is the temperature coefficient (see page 2).
