ceramic disk labeled 102k equals?

[aortiz]

i have this small size ceramic disk with 102k marking on it .
what is the value of it ?
in mfd?
in nfd?
those are the values that my meter read (fluke 79 series2 multimeter)
thanks in advance

Re: ceramic disk labeled 102k equals?

1000pF, I think.
It's 10pF * 10^2 or 10pF * 100.

Yes, that is 1000pF or 0.001uF.
This type is marking is in pF.
102: 1,000pF = 0.001uF
103: 10,000pF = 0.01uF
104: 100,000pF = 0.1uF
105: 1,000,000pF = 1.0uf

See the pattern in the numbering?

What tom and bud posted, plus "K" in this context means a +/-10% tolerance (not counting the temperature and voltage coefficients of the ceramic dielectric, which may be far worse than the 10% initial tolerance).

thank you guys,
i am just poking around a monitor that turns off when it goes into high resolution 1024x768 or higher.

Stupid question, but have you verified that it supports resolutions higher than 1024x768?

Some monitors turn off rather than displaying an "over range" message.
