Default What type of capacitor should I use?

ack on that. it's always good advice to see the data sheet.

Somewhat recently, I bought some 500V 0.047uF ceramics that I use for
high freq bypass in a 400V power supply. I checked, it's X7R. no
problems noted. (got them from digikey along with others)

but yeah, the part selectors don't give you a whole lot of choice for
capacitors at voltages about 100V, sometimes. Still, I've never had a
problem with what I've purchased that way.
