[ARC5] Mystery Component Color Codes

[Jacques Fortin]

Isn’t it ?

I have a ceramic “dogbone” in my 33pF drawer which is coded a similar way, plus a yellow dot at the “beginning”.

400V ??

Why a green band for 5% tolerance? Gold paint too expensive ?

Sometimes those capacitors codes makes no sense…

In the same drawer: Brown (large band), Orange, Orange, Orange, Black, White !

Guess what it is… on the Impedance Analyser, it measures 32.95pF @ 1MHz.

I have about 12 of them… eesh…
