Most kit builders don't need to go further, but I know you want to learn more. Anyway, Just to confuse you some more there is sometimes a tolerance code given by a single letter. These letters are in alphabetical order; the farther down in the alphabet, the lower the tolerance. So a 103J is a 10,000 pF with +/-5% tolerance
Letter symbol Tolerance of capacitor B +/- 0.10pF C +/- 0.25pF D +/- 0.5pF E +/- 0.5% F +/- 1% G +/- 2% H +/- 3% J +/- 5% K +/- 10% M +/- 20% N +/- 30% P +100% ,-0% Z +80%, -20% |
