Title: Total Recall
Post by: funbaba on April 22, 2016, 01:09:05 PM
I ordered parts ahead of time using the Mouser cart inside the build PDF, and a few components were out of stock. Of course, I managed to pick one capacitor that's totally the wrong lead spacing, C4 (1n2 film).

Looking through all my 1n caps, the capacitance setting on my multimeter can't seem to get a true reading on values that small. Most of my tighter tolerance ones read about 1.35nf. The actual 1n2 5% cap I got reads 1.53nf. I found one multilayer ceramic cap that's reading at 1.41nf, would this be close enough? It looks like C4 is filtering between parts A and B of IC1, one of the 4558s.

Is it worth it to order another 1n2 cap, or would the cap I found (whose true value, I'm guessing, is around 1n1) be good enough?

Tyyyyyyyyyy :-[

I'd say go for it. Probably won't even notice any difference with any of those caps mentioned. If you are really worried you can socket it and get one 1n2 later and test it out. :)

True true, a socket sounds like a great idea. Thanks!
