capacitor identification
I have a capacitor from an LCD power supply board that I am trying to replace. The capacitor has this written on it
F .33J
PMD 250V
Any one knows a capacitor that would replace this.
It is shaped like this (but this is not the actual capacitor).
Thanks
.33 mean 330 000p
250 v peak volt capacitor work
you can use capacitor 334-250 ...
330,000pF = 330nF
The capacitor in your picture is 1µF
I do not answer private messages asking for help because no one else can: benefit from advice I may give or correct me if I'm wrong.
Please ask on the open forum if you have a question and I'll be happy to help, if I know the answer.
330nf/250v, 334/250v, or 330nf/400vOriginally Posted by wkman

Thanks guys for the help. Do you know what kind of capacitors these are? I am going to order one off mouser.com but don't know the proper name of them. Or would any capacitor at those specs work. I was doing a little research on google, and I think they are called film capacitors, but not sure. Thanks in advance.
Here is a picture of my actual capacitor. Not sure if its .33 or just 33.

Yeah, it's a film cap. Mylar or polypropylene most likely. If in doubt, use polypropylene. With a 250V rating and in an LCD power supply that's probably what it is b/c of polypropylene's self-healing qualities.

It is 0.33uF
250V peak working

Definitely 0.33uF (330nF). A 250V 33uF polypropylene cap would be the size of a C or D cell battery.
Thanks for all the help guys. Just ordered all the parts i needed. Hopefully I can get this lcd up and running again when they get here.
Definitely a 0.33µF or 330 nF capacitor. The "J" means a +/- 5 % tolerance capacitor (Components marked witah a "K" are 10 %, "M" devices are 20 % and "Z", +80 % -20 % devices).
And it looks like a polyester capacitor, definitively plastic. Personally, i call those bugs "Telco capacitors" because they are often found in telephone circuits. (fractional to a few uF at 250 volts).
Just to let you guys know, got my parts in today. Installed them, and the lcd is back up and running. Ended up replacing the capacitor and 2 transistors. Again, thanks for all the help.
CONGRATS and all the best WKman

Hopfully, I am not trying to hyjack somebodies thread but, a simple related question.
What Value does a commanly found Capacitor in CFL, Marked : 2A224K : signify ?
They are mostly green in colour and guess they are Matallized Polyester Film Capacitor.
