Reading Capacitor Values?

Recommended Posts

I have some capacitors I cannot work out their values, can someone help me please?!

Big orange boiled sweet type...225P 100V 473k

Yellow cylinder...150M .1UF (the M has a strike-through line thru it)

Small ceramic...222K (packet says 2200)

Small ceramic...223Z (packet says 22000)

Tiny ceramic... B 102 (packet says 1000 on it)

Green lozenze type... 2A333J

Excuse my ignorance.

Intended Uses:

1. For tone pot of 2 HB guitar

2. For vol pot treble bleed in parallel with suitable resistor.

Thanks!

lol "big orange boiled sweetie type" 225P if i remember rite means its value is 225 pico-farad, the 100V jus means u cant chuck more than 100 volts thru it without it blowing up (caps do a great blowing up impression)

"yellow cylinder" jus ignore the 150M bit, the important bit is the .1UF, taht means its value is 0.1 micro-farad

i cant remember about ceramic values or the green thingys but if you go on rscomponents.com u shud b able to find out what the values mean, failing that, try google

hope that helps

will

Big orange boiled sweet type...225P 100V 473k 470nF or .47uF

Yellow cylinder...150M .1UF 100nF or .1uF

Small ceramic...222K (packet says 2200) 2200pF or 2.2nF or.0022uF

Small ceramic...223Z (packet says 22000) 22nF or .022uF

Tiny ceramic... B 102 (packet says 1000 on it) 1000pF or 1nF or .001uF

Green lozenze type... 2A333J 33nF or .033uF

That what you needed? The link that GGW posted above will explain how the code works.
