Hi All,
I have a bunch of random capacitors i found in a box in my workshop. I have been able to figure out the values of most of them, but there are a few tiny ones with very few markings and I want to make sure I have the correct values. My multimeter doesn't give capacitance so I need to rely on the markings for now.
There are 4 very small caps, all of them are a light brown color. Three have a black stripe across the top and one has an orange stripe across the top. All of the numbers written on them have a solid line underneath (e.g 15). I assume these are just the value in pF but want to make sure. The numbers written on them are:
1.5 (the . is actually in the middle of the numbers so it looks like 1-5)
15
2.2
24
I also have another cap which uses the standard 3 digit code, and above the code is a single character which is unfortunately quite faded. It is very small but I think it is either a B, and 8, or a lowercase a. Does anyone have any idea what that means?
Finally, I have another cap which is large enough that I can actually read some things on it. It is marked:
.001P
Y5U
1kv
I think that means .001uF +100% -0% but again I'm unsure and I have no idea what +100% -0% means if that is correct.
Thanks for any help. I can try to take pictures of them if you need more information.
