Capacitor Question. . .
Capacitor Question. . .
I *think* that in place of the ordered 399-4202-ND capacitors, Digi-Key sent me 399-4144-ND. I didn't think anything of it, since they both are 1,000 pF 100V capacitors from what I can tell, but then I started measuring across them and I get numbers all over the place that don't seem to match the markings. . . Does this mean my meter is junk, or something else? I still think these capacitors are equivalents.
Thanks,
Thad

Re: Capacitor Question. . .
The difference you measure may be in the measurement method since they are rated at 10% tolerance.

My readings from my gauge are pretty wacky, and don't seem to be too close to what the capacitors are supposed to be, certainly not wtihin 10%. . . Oh well! I'll just trust that I put the right ones in there, and that I did a good job with the assembly!
