Default RF Grounding - DC block

...Icom shows four 0.15 uf capacitors in parallel acting as a DC
block / galvanic isolator in the RF ground circuit of an SSB system.

I assume the caps are in parallel to increase the voltage rating...?

Are these plain old ceramic caps, like an 'orange drop' - say 400 VDC?

Many Thanks.


How many do you need? I went through this and now have a bunch left
over. Give me a shout off group and I'll stick them in snailmail.
