Series capacitor array.
5C30.42 • D+0+8
Series capacitor array. Close the key switch briefly (about a second) to establish a charge. Once charged, the voltages on each capacitor may be read using a high impedance (about 1 gigohms) voltmeter. This array is 4.7 - 2.2 - 4.7 microfarads. High-quality mylar capacitors are used. NOTE: Short the capacitors before putting away. CAPACITANCE.
