Need help identifying a few capacitors. - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

Aiight this is a branch off of a previous thread, see I picked up a bundle of capacitors from radio shack, but I didn't look close enough when I got them, so when I busted them open I found out I couldn't find the µf/pf of any of them.

All of these are Ceramic Disc Capacitors

If anyone can help or has figured out their capacitance, please assist.

Here's the list, may be long, I gotta sort through 100 capacitors.

Sebi,

on your 3rd and 4th answers you said that 560 is 560pf and 561 is 560pf. i thought that the last number is the multiplier for zeros, and figured that 560 merely meant 56pf, i am no expert or even intermediate at cap labeling so i might be wrong. any help appreciated.

regards,

ivan

Yes, Ivan possible. This is only my impression (or expert?) when the tolerance is numbered (10%) the value also direct numbered... Better when measured...

Your probably right, or at least it sounds right?

Ivan
