Title: 1nk100 alternative
Post by: thevorticist on November 15, 2020, 07:19:17 PM
Hi guys!

I'm building my first 2 projects, the Expandora and the Turnabout and both projects need a 1n cap that looks like the picture attached. I can't find this cap anywhere. Do you know any alternative for it?

Thanks a lot!

You can use any 1n cap that fits in that space. The 100 is the max voltage tolerance but anything above a 16v tolerance is fine. For box caps they typically come in 63v or 100v tolerances.

Thanks for the quick reply Madbean.

Would be ok one of these?

Yes, either one will work
Make sure leads have 5mm spacing between them

Thanks again madbean!

I'm with the pots now and not sure if I have to pick linear, audio or reverse audio type, and also whats the difference between 100kC, 100kB, 100kA.

Sorry, so many questions...

Many thanks!

100kC = 100K ohms Reverse Audio
100kB = 100K ohms Linear
100kA = 100K ohms Audio
