To confirm the capacitor’s value printed on it, use your multimeter to measure its actual capacitance. Set the multimeter to measure capacitance, connect the leads accordingly, and note the reading.

Abstract: Introduced at a price of only $269, complete with battery charger and belt carrying case, a handheld digital multimeter is one of the few recent portable instruments to come along with the ...

Capacitors are essential passive components that store charges and dissipate the stored energy to components on demand. They are used in a broad range of applications, including radars, pulsed lasers, ...

We’re big fans of surface mount parts. SMD components are cheaper, take less board space, and don’t require drilling; all the coolest new parts are only available in SMD packages. Smart Tweezers are a ...
