Post by dacflyer »

i have a cap here,,it looks like a white chicklet but its squared off. it seems to be a poly cap in a small case .
the value is foreign to me.. it must be euro :p
the value is 100nK400 ,

i am guessing its 100pF @ 400 volts?
am i right? or.....

actually, I'd bet 100 nF, +/- 10%, 400V but that's just a literal reading. what does your multimeter say about it?

Vot ! you are not bin recognizink schmitt der Cherman und Dutch case configurations and their symbolizations. (First seen in the old Wima branded poly units, later by Philips)
Also confirmed, as Philba mentioned, as per the 100 ninny farads...or, how you crazy Americans say, .1ufd at the specified 10% tolerance and DCWV mentioned.

Perhaps the multimeter set to capacitance...

100 nanofarad = 0.1uf

I agree with the above posters.
