Different capacitors can handle different frequency ranges but typically low value caps decouple/filter high frequency (eg 1nF curve above) and higher value caps decouple/filter lower frequencies (eg …

Jul 6, 2019 · Investigation turned out that this capacitor is broken. "102" means 1nF, but does "1 KV" mean 1 kiloVolt or is that some sort of tolerance code? I've tried several "capacitor code calculators" …

Aug 12, 2011 · The yellow green capacitors are Philips brand capacitors introduced in the 1960's. The top markings are: Green: Temperature coefficient -330 ppm/°C. Tolerance -20/+50%. Capacitance …

Dec 2, 2016 · Most small ceramic capacitors are rated for 50V or 100V which is high enough above typical modern solid-state circuit voltages that the capacitor voltage is not of great importance. …

Jan 18, 2023 · So, given an example of two capacitors in series with an AC voltage, why does the capacitor with a smaller capacitance result in a larger voltage drop when calculating. I guess I'm still …

Jun 23, 2023 · But why doesn't this happen with large electrolytic capacitors? If we take a high frequency, let's say 10 kHz, a 1nF MLCC capacitor filters out the noise much better than a 100uF …

Oct 5, 2015 · Is there a general self resonance frequency characteristics for MLCC capacitors? If I make a RC low pass filter, say using 1kohm and 15nF 0603 with fc = 10.6kHz, I guess it won't work as LPF …

Jul 19, 2018 · Common capacitances range from 1nF to whole farads for supercapacitors. The standard notation for larger values is like for resistors, but with nanofarads instead of ohms as the base unit.

Apr 22, 2015 · I want to make a traffic light circuit but the problem is that I don't have a 0.1µF capacitor. I do have a 1µF capacitor, would it be OK to replace it? The circuit diagram I am using is shown bel...

Oct 24, 2018 · Other than investing in an expensive tweezer type meter for SMD components, what would be a good method for the layman to find the capacitance of an 0805 ceramic capacitor whose …
