Newbie capacitor question

[ApolloCAP]

Hello!
I am an electronics newbie, and I was wondering where I could find a
capacitor found at
http://www.mitedu.freeserve.co.uk/Circuits/Alarm/radiowavealm.htm . It says
I need a 4 nano farad capacitor. Could someone give me the URL of say a
mouser catalog item that's 4 nano farads?
I have mis ordered twice. I always order this useless surface-mount
capacitors. Can someone give me the catalog item or # for one with leads
that's ceramic?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Apollo_CAP

Err..it sez 4pF, *not* 4nF.
The closest value leaded *ceramic* capacitors i could find in the
Mouser catalog #614 were:
1) Page 405, 80-CK05BX100K (10pF @ 200V, radial) and 80-C410C100J1G
(10pF @ 100V, axial).
2) Page 408, 539-CK05100K (10pF @ 200V, radial) and 539-GP550 (5pF @
100V, radial).
3) Page 412, 10pF @ 50V and 100V, radial.
4) "Exact" value on Page 413, 75-10TCCV39 (3.9pF @ 100V, radial).
5) Page 416, 4.7pF @ 50V to 500V, radial; see Pg 417 for ammo pack and
tape packaging.
6) Page 418, two 10pF @ 50V, axial and radial.
Be advised that capacitors with mica and plastic insulation are also
available; just look further in the catalog, starting on page 424.
