    Please help identify a capacitor

    I really hate to post a newbie question, but I need help identifying a capacitor. I have attached a photograph containing two capacitors, I am almost certain they are mica capacitors. I have searched for how to read the codes on the capacitors and I just cannot seem to figure out what they mean. I also tried measuring the capacitance with my multimeter to try to narrow down the possibilities to give me a clue as to how to read the values, unfortunately my meter gives me wildly inconsistent numbers every time I try to test the capacitance, so no help there.

    If anybody can tell me how to read the codes on these, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much.

      The look like cornell dubilier mica capacitors 20pf/100v and 50pf2%/300v
      You need a capacitor meter to read the capacity.

          I appreciate your help.

          So, the ".7" after the twenty doesn't mean anything? I wasn't sure if it was a multiplier or some sort of tolerance specification I wasn't aware as this is the first time I have actually seen mica capacitors and it was really throwing me off.

              Never mind

                  Help to identify a laptop mainboard SMD capacitor LA-9982P
                  by BlackBurn
                  Hello everyone,

                  I have an Dell Inspiron 15 3537 laptop mainboard (LA-9982P Rev. 3.0 (A02)) with a blown SMD capacitor as shown in the attached images. However, there is no printed specifications near the capacitor or a codename for the capacitor to identify the specification of the capacitor to replace it. I wonder how to identify the capacitor since the mainboard schematics are also useless as the capacitors are not named on the board. Any help would be highly appreciated.

                  Thank You. Stay Safe.

                  SMD ceramic capacitor capacitance & voltage
                  by Sparklingx
                  what is the easiest way to measure the capacitance of SMD ceramic capacitors and its rated voltage?...

                  If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
                  by chth96
                  I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
                  Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
                  It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
                  So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
                  I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...

                  Is it no harm to replace with capacitor without ripple current rating?
                  by chth96
                  When I tried to repair LG 29 inch CRT TV, I found that the ESR value of samyoung SMS capacitor(160v 2.2uf), which is very close to D1879 transistor, is 6 ohm.


                  Judging from above ESR Meter Table,I think It is necessary to replace this sms capacitor.So I visited local electronics shop,and I purchased 160v 2.2uf rubycon YK capacitor.
                  But when I browse through rubycon YK datasheet,I found that there is no ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf specification. But On the contrary, I found 39 mA ripple current rating for 160v 2.2uf SMS capacitor.
                  Rubycon YK DataSheet (b...

                  Should I replace polymer capacitor?
                  by chth96
                  a few days ago I finally purchased mser-100 v2 and I tested its abillity of measuring ESR value.
                  I found that It shows pretty accurate ESR value for electrolytic capacitor,But When I measure polymer capacitor of dreamcast game console,I found that one third of polymer capacitor's ESR value is more than twice the value of ESR meter table.(for example, I measured one polymer capacitor of 6.3v 100uf, It showed ESR value of 7.68)
                  Although my dreamcast now turns 20 years old but it still works. I occasionally have played game with it.
                  Is this ESR value of polymer capacitor correct?...
