Ceramic Capacitor Marking 103

Sometimes figures such as 10n will be seen and this indicates a 10nf capacitor.

Ceramic capacitor marking 103.

When the first two numbers are multiplied with the multiplier the. A ceramic disc capacitor does not have a polarity and connects in any direction on the printed circuit board. 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 smallest capacitors made from ceramic film or tantalum use units of picofarads pf equal to 10 12 farads.

There are several tolerance marking systems used. 103 ceramic disc capacitors are available at mouser electronics. Two of the most common are shown here. Then the 4 1 st digit the 7 2 nd digit the 3 is the multiplier in pico farads pf and the letter j is the tolerance and this translates to.

Ceramic capacitors are generally smaller than types like electrolytic capacitors and therefore the markings need to be more concise. A variety of schemes may be used. Common ceramic capacitor tags capacitor 108 0 1 pf capacitor 158 0 15 pf capacitor 228 0 22 pf capacitor 338 0 33 pf capacitor 478 0 47 pf. The 3 digit capacitor code 103 stands for 10 nf in words.

The first two numbers describe the value of the capacitor and the third number is the number of zeros in the multiplier. Often the value may be given in picofarads. Method of finding the value meaning of codes of capacitor. Hence the value of the capacitor above is 47000 pf 5.

Click here for resistor colour code and smd resistor code ceramic disc capacitors have two to three digits code printed on them. Mouser offers inventory pricing datasheets for 103 ceramic disc capacitors. The capacitor on the left is of a ceramic disc type capacitor that has the code 473j printed onto its body. Then by just using numbers and letters as codes.

If you are new to capacitor codes then the best way to start is with a chart because that way you can see the arrangement of the code. 47pf 1 000 3 zero s 47 000 pf 47nf or 0 047uf the j indicates a tolerance of 5.
