Value capacitor?

Hello,

which value has this capacitor?

Would help me very much!

It looks like .1K pF = 100pF (=0.0001uF) @ 100V.

I would agree with the interpretation of the numbers but it looks a bit big to be only 100pF.

Probably, dot is a typo, than 1k = 1000 pF

...but it looks a bit big to be only 100pF.

I was thinking the same thing. Since it's a new part (not something that needs to be replaced/duplicated in a circuit), if it's for a critical application buy a new one! Or, try it and if it doesn't work as expected, replace it.

A lot of multimeters now have a capacitance measure feature. Try it.

The size depends on the voltage rating. It might be 10,000V... :slight_smile:

.1 is 0.1uF
K is Tolerance of capacitor +/- 10%
100 is 100V

Yes it looks the right size for a 0.1uF 100V cap I will buy that one.

If only component manufacturers used straightforward values printed on, rather than
daft codes! "100n 100V" isn't that hard to print :slight_smile:

You are right. :frowning:

Thanks to all. :slight_smile:

Why not use Arduino Capacitance Meter?

Here is Atmel/Arduino forum, not Microchip/Pic forum ! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
