READING CERAMIC CAPACITORS??????? - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

BABYBASS210 · 13th May 2003, 01:02 AM

HELLO EVERYONE

CAN ANYONE HELP ME?
I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO READ CERAMIC CAPACITORS.
THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THIS IN THE INTERNET, HOWEVER, I AM STUCK TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO READWITH 1 DIGIT CERAMIC CAPACITORS.
FOR EXAMPLE , I HAVE QUITE A FEW VERY SMALL CAPACITORS THAT ONLY HAVE ONE DIGIT

EXAMPLE: I ALREADY KNOW THAT 103 MEANS 10000pF

AND 102 MEANS 1000pF.

WHAT ABOUT A CAPACITOR THAT ONLY HAS ONE DIGIT AND THE DIGIT IS UNDERLINED LIKE "8".
I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

Hello Joey,

Thank you for using our board, but we would appreciate it if you didn't SHOUT. :wink:

If not specified, capacitors are measured in pF, that's why 102 means 10+00 pF

To understand how to read capacitor codes on the small caps Try this link:

Oops. I guess my link does not work. If you go to:

http://www.geocities.com/hamfiles/

Click on the Capacitor code link, it should work OK.
