| What kind of varistor is this? |

| AndersJ:
Can anyone identify this component, possibly a varistor? |
| Andy Watson:
I would say it is a capacitor 1n5 F. The 400 V AC and peak 4kV rating, along with all the other certification logos suggest that it is rated for safe use on mains. |
| Benta:
It's a 1.5 nF Mica cap for mains use. |
| Gyro:
This is fun :) It's a 1.5nF 400V AC, 4kV AC test, Ceramic. Note that while it's certified for flamability, it's not suitable for use (unprotected by a fuse) across the mains as it doesn't have an X or Y marking. Edit: Y2 would require 5kV test and Y1, 8kV. |
| AndersJ:
Thanks everyone. I saw the 1n5 marking, but it never occured to me that it could be anything but a varistor. |
