Capacitor types and colors


1pf - 1800pf Yellow Ceramic Disk or Blue or Yellow Monolithics
.001; .01; .022; .047; 0.1; 0.47; 1uF (C96 on K2) Red Monolithics
Temperature stable caps are marked "NP0", "C0G" or have a black top.

Capacitor Marking Table (Ceramic and Monolithic Cap's)

Important: Capacitors with values below 100 pf may be marked two ways: Either with just two digits (22 pF = "22") or three digits (22 pF = "220",). In the latter case the third digit signifies the number of zeros following the first two digits. "220" = 22 pF, "221" = 220 pF, "222" = 2200 pF.
