Hi all i have a 1990 vintage computer cpu board with about 10 of these capacitors on it. However with these guidelines you should be able to identify a capacitors basic characteristics.

How to read a capacitor.

Capacitor identification help. Physically small capacitors are especially difficult to read due to the limited space available for printing. Btw on the further away view of it u can see that there are 2 extra capacitors there and they are the and so is the broken one but only has that fp5k and the other marks on it no help at all stupid manufactures btw this might help a bit or not at all someone i know says that the capacitor that broke might be made by panasonic. A final note of caution.

Capacitors may carry charge even if the circuit is disconnected so use extreme caution when handling these devices especially larger capacitors as many store a huge amount of charge. Can anyone please help me identify what kind they are and if youre really bored or know offhand a reasonable replacement from mouser digikey or other us vendor. If you want more general information about capacitors you can start with our capacitor tutorial.

This tutorial will help you identify the contents of your kit and show you a couple tricks to expand the range of values even further. This is off a dc 200 volt drive on a lagun mill it runs the table movement one of the legs broke off and in an attempt to solder a new one on it burned i went off of the number 22 i assumed micro farad and the 250 as volts. Unlike resistors capacitors use a wide variety of codes to describe their characteristics.

Capacitor values are expressed using metric prefixes. I ordered one to that spec and it is 10 times larger i did order 250.
