mattdowney Posted February 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 thanks alot, what do the letters in the code stand for? on this cap it says 2A473J. what do the A and the J mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 The letter codes are from the manufacturer, so you'd have to know who made the caps. What brand are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdowney Posted February 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 i really dont know what kind it is. its a medium sized green cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 It's almost certainly a Xicon "Greenie" polyester film cap, which would mean that the 2A would mean 100 volts and the J indicates 5% tolerance. http://www.mouser.com/catalog/specsheets/pf.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
