Cap markings unfamiliar
This is a small (8x3 mm) yellow axial "blob" w/hard (ceramic?) shiny
exterior. Markings: FC4 9116 Presume the latter is date code. What is the value? A Google turned up nothing I could find that might identify this code. Surely tolerance markings follow the value markings... Ideas? Thanks, -- DaveC This is an invalid return address Please reply in the news group |

I associate Kemet and AVX with blue and yellow bodies but forget which way round. The markings sound totally unhelpful. Usually there might be something like 104 (100nF) to denote capacitance.

All axial ceramic caps I have come across have the value marked on them. Are you able to measure its value? |

Thanks, In EU we write 1.2 Ohms as 1R2, 1.2kOhms as 1k2, 0.1 Ohms as 0R1 or R1. So obviously it's 0.4femtocaps. Sorry. -- Gibbo This email address isn't real. |

It's a charged cap -- be careful, you might accidentially bleed out the 0.4 femtocoulombs! ;-) Incidentially, 0.4fC is about 2500 electrons. Tim -- Deep Fryer: A very philosophical monk.

Hey with today's modern quantum dot detectors used in the lab instruments, it'll have no problem. ;-] |

Thanks, -- DaveC This is an invalid return address Please reply in the news group Are you sure it's a capacitor? Surface-mount caps are commonly marked with a two-character code, and a third character indicates the manufacturer. So for your case, "F" would be the manufacturer, and "C4" would be C=1.2, times 10^4, pF = 12000pF = 12nF. But don't count on it. That system is used where there's not enough room for more, and in the case of your part, there's obviously room for more digits. It could just as well be some abbreviation of an in-house part number. Cheers, Tom |
