![]() 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. Last edited by R_J; 10-20-2020 at 09:20 AM.. |

![]() 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. |
