Title: Pork barrel cap help please !
Post by: DLM on June 02, 2012, 10:38:27 PM
Hey can anyone help me on the pork barrel capacitors , c4 ,c6  100pf and c11,16 470pf and c18 47 pf ?  I'm having trouble with mouser . First of all , the caps can be poly film or ceramic  ( note the oval shape on the board ) . My question is for "Poly" ,mouser has Polyester film caps and Polypropylene . Which one and whats the difference ? Then on the Ceramics , there's Ceramic disc and Multilayer ceramic .which is the better one to use ?    Thanks

Either can be used, it's not some much of which is better as much as which fits and what can I afford!

Make sure you've got the right lead spacing and size on your cap, and then get the one that costs less. Post some links to the parts you're looking at if you've still got questions.
