I dont seem to get it. I have 7 MLCC capacitors in the kit but only 6 on instructions paper marked with yellow line and i cant seem to get my min around which ro combine. Help please!
no im Total rookie here. would like an multmeter but still missingDo you have a way to test the components?
Yes, the values you are guessing should be correct. The 104 is 100uF, the 471 is 470pF and the 101 is 100pF and the 470 is 47pF.ah ok that is the one wrong then so then it is six to go.
there should be two 100pF and i have two 101. are they the same?
There should be two 470pF and i have two 471.
three should be one 100uF i find one 104
and one 47pF is that the 470?
sorry but what do you mean by that? it is marked wrong in the paper or I have the wrong capacitor?104 is 100n, not 100u, it's the value on the bom.
Looks like 1u tantalum cap.This one here looks like 35v Tantalum , It has positive & negative leads.
Put a DMM on it set to capacitance & hold it there until it stabilizes & you should get a reading???Looks like 1u tantalum cap.
Mostly the markings will be correct but I've seen some people mentioning bad markings.Put a DMM on it set to capacitance & hold it there until it stabilizes & you should get a reading???
This is how I measure all my capacitors before Soldering them in.
I never trust what is written on them, it's just a visual guide.
Happened to me a couple of weeks ago.Mostly the markings will be correct but I've seen some people mentioning bad markings.
Another thing is having sometimes a capacitor value way out of the 5% or 10% tolerance.
Even worse, I just found a brand new 150n cap that had a reading of .... 0.000, in my first builds, this would have been mounted on the board without any verification, and would have meant troubleshooting. I'm on the L4 board, the last thing I want is a value error.
