can someone tell me how to read the value on this capacitor

[nyc_tommy]

this is the information on it.

CSO1X
1000 +- 5%
100v = 84M


the is no marking to tell me what type of measure? UF PF etc.

help!

I would imagine it's 1000pF.

What is the shape of the capacitor. Is it basically like a disk, maybe the shape of a coin with 2 leads out the side? Is it tubular? Is it square with leads out the bottom? All this might help. But I am guessing it is 1000pf at 100V.

yup 1000pf, if you look at the tolerance +-5% NPO/COG has that kind of tolerance and it can only be used upto a few nF.

What do you guys make of the "84M" line? (Anything to do with value or temp coefficient?) I've got a bunch of these capacitors that have gone unused because I don't know to make of the value.

Hope this helps.

Very helpful! That capacitor guide is just what the doctor ordered! 8)

messure the capacitance, you can find a meter which has capacitor messuring feature.

That's true, it's a shame that all multimeters are not designed to
measure all common parameters (V,A,R,f,C,L,PNP,NPN,RPM,
logic probe, temperature...).
that's what MULTI in multimeter means to me.
Anything less is an AVO-meter.... :wink:
