Post by: skypn on January 10, 2021, 01:14:36 PM
May one replace a 50pf cerm cap with a 51pf?. The only 50pf I can find are 1KV and physically wont fit in my build.

Absolutely, or a 47 pF.  Most caps are plus or minus 20% tolerance, so that 51 pF could actually be as little as 41 or as much as 61.  You can also put two 100pF in series to get a 50 pF value.
