Collection: Ceramic Disc Capacitors

50V ceramic disc capacitors from 3pF to 0.22µF in packs of 10, sorted by value. The 3-digit code on the disc gives the value in pF: two digits, then the number of zeros, so 104 = 100,000pF = 100nF = 0.1µF. Non-polarised, for decoupling next to IC power pins, filters, timers and oscillators.

First two digits 10, then 4 zeros: 10 0000 pF.

The first two digits are the value and the third is how many zeros to add, in picofarads (pF). A letter after the number is the tolerance (J ±5%, K ±10%, M ±20%). On film capacitors a code like 2A or 2J in front is the voltage. Electrolytic capacitors print the value directly (for example 100µF 25V) and the stripe marks the negative leg.
