6 FAQs about [Capacitor units and codes]

What are the different types of coding system used for capacitors?

The different types of coding system used for the capacitors are: Colour Code: A “colour code” is used in capacitors which are old. In the present times, industry rarely use colour code system except seldom on some of the components. Tolerance Codes: The tolerance code is used in some of the capacitors.

What are capacitor code values?

A: Capacitor code values are used to represent the capacitance value of a capacitor component. Capacitors are electronic components that store and release electrical energy. The code values help in identifying the capacitance value of a capacitor without having to write the full value in Farads. Q: How are capacitor code values expressed?

What are the different types of capacitor markings & codes?

The various parameters of the capacitors such as their voltage and tolerance along with their values is represented by different types of markings and codes. Some of these markings and codes include capacitor polarity marking; capacity colour code; and ceramic capacitor code respectively.

Why are capacitors marked with a code?

Capacitors are often marked with codes to show the value, tolerance and material. This is particularly true for small types such as ceramic disc or polystyrene where there is little space for full markings. The capacitance value is often marked using a 3 digit code.

What is a color code chart on a capacitor?

Each color band on a capacitor represents a specific number or multiplier. This system details the capacitance value or its tolerance limit. When dealing with these capacitors, technicians refer to a color code chart to decode the values accurately.

How do you know if a capacitor is capacitive?

There are two common ways to know the capacitive value of a capacitor, by measuring it using a digital multimeter, or by reading the capacitor colour codes printed on it. These coloured bands represent the capacitance value as per the colour code including voltage rating and tolerance.
