300IN1 Capacitor Identification
Capacitors come in many different types are measured in Farads and a maximum voltage rating.
There are 2 types of Capacitors supplied, Electrolytic and Ceramic.
Electrolytic Capacitors
This type of capacitor is normally between 1000 micro Farad (μF) and 0.1μF.
Electrolytic are polarised with a -ve sign (You MUST make sure you insert them correctly)
Their value is clearly marked along with a maximum Voltage.
Electrolytic Capacitors
Ceramic Capacitors
Ceramic are the small discs capacitors supplied (lower values and can also be other shapes)
The ceramic capacitors will work either way around unlike the Electrolytic Capacitors.
typical working voltage of these capacitors is 50 Volts (can be obtained at higher voltages)
