[SOLVED] please help me to read this capacitor value

[dzakriel]

okay this question seems so stupid, i also embaressed to ask it, but i really need it. my capacitor value writen as "1U0J100" it is a square-look capactior. so anybody can tell me how much farad it is?

 

[mishra12]

pls upload pic so that we are clear
may be not sure 1 micro farad 100 volts

1u0 may mean 1uF, j=> tolerance, 100=>100V

:wink:

 

[allennlowaton]

that's 10pF (the last three digit 100) with tolerance value +/- 5% (letter J)..

I have to disagree with the above idea, 100 is related to the voltage rating and not the capacitance ..
Have a look at the attached picture ..

yeah true..
I think the label above is somewhat different from what I saw in the capacitor value calculator.
By the way, what time of capacitor is this?

 

[ckshivaram]

1. 10nj100: it is 10 nanoFarads(0.01 uF) at 100 Volts and the J whatever tolerance the manufacturer asigned to that letter.
2. 0.1j63 : 0.1uF capacitor, or 100nF.


These are box typr capacitors

The name of this is polyester capacitors Box type. the performance of this is between tantallum and normal disc or ceramic capacitors. considered to be more stable than ceramic caps

here is the pict of my capacitor, may it helps you to help me read it's value. thx for all reply but i still confused.

 

[IanP]

1uF @ 100V


:wink:

 

[mishra12]

go for 1 micro farad 100 volts

We order these kind of capacitor in tens and thousands every month, so maybe we are used to reading these kind of cap values

ok thx all. and this question [SOLVED]
