Building Unchained. Needing 25pf caps. Have none.
Have 22pf and 27pf figured one will be high or low and get close to the 25pf
HELL NO. MY BATCH OF 22 AND 27PF measure between .078nf and .092nf = 78-92pf seems real high
I pull out 15pf to measure and get 0.076nf. I couldnt tell you which ones but I know in some circuits no big deal up to now I took it for granted that the caps I get from Tayda are at least close to stated value and really have had no issues that I know of using them at face value. Measuring them and seeing how far off they are just got me curious about this large value difference(side note I havent completely ruled out my multimeter with built in cap reader not being accurate but its been good on everything else so.........can anybody school me about this? A big deal /no big deal ? thanks anybody and everybody
Cause I'm leaning toward going for it with 27pf only 2pf's off or higher than called for but then I do it and cause of that the sound sux wicked dirty nads and I mess the board up trying to fix it
Having little to none in patience I hope to get a quick reply and yes I did try and research a bit down the rabbit hole of capacitors. Rabbit hole.
