Ceramic capacitor marking 103.

The 3 digit capacitor code 103 stands for 10 nf in words. Then by just using numbers and letters as codes. The capacitor on the left is of a ceramic disc type capacitor that has the code 473j printed onto its body. There are several tolerance marking systems used.

Two of the most common are shown here. Method of finding the value meaning of codes of capacitor. In addition to the capacitance value and possibly the working voltage or breakdown voltage the capacitor may be marked by its tolerance. Ceramic capacitors are generally smaller than types like electrolytic capacitors and therefore the markings need to be more concise.

The first is used with small ceramic capacitors and appears as a single letter. Mouser offers inventory pricing datasheets for 103 ceramic disc capacitors. Hence the value of the capacitor above is 47000 pf 5. A ceramic disc capacitor does not have a polarity and connects in any direction on the printed circuit board.

47pf 1 000 3 zero s 47 000 pf 47nf or 0 047uf the j indicates a tolerance of 5. 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. Click here for resistor colour code and smd resistor code ceramic disc capacitors have two to three digits code printed on them. 103 ceramic disc capacitors are available at mouser electronics.

The first two numbers describe the value of the capacitor and the third number is the number of zeros in the multiplier. A variety of schemes may be used. 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. Often the value may be given in picofarads.

Larger capacitors the cylindrical aluminum electrolyte type or the double layer type use units of microfarads uf or µf equal to 10 6 farads. Sometimes figures such as 10n will be seen and this indicates a 10nf capacitor.
