Encoding for ceramic capacitors.
Ceramic capacitor 102 value.
For codes s x and z the actual capacitance may be as much as 20 below the stated value or as much as 50 40 or 80 over the stated value.
For electrolytic capacitors simply capacitance values are written on them.
Capacitors are routinely marked with at least their capacitance value.
This is a simple online calculator for color band resistor marking inductor color band marking ceramic or tantalum capacitor 3 digit marking and smd resistor 3 digit 4 digit 10 5 2 and eia 96 e96 1 tolerance code marking.
The first is used with small ceramic capacitors and appears as a single.
The 3 digit capacitor code 102 stands for 1 nf in words.
By using this capacitor value calculator we can calculate the value of that capacitor or vice versa.
