Please can someone tell me what value this Wima cap is? Better still please can someone tell me how to decipher Wima 's numbering so I can work it out myself?


Thanks!

Also what I do is go to tayda and entered 68n or the number on the cap and it will give you a translation of what it is. OR you can just google it.
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Cheers guys, much appreciated.

I should have said at I did try to Google I but I wasn't sure which line of numbers/letters to Google. I'll know for the future now.

Thanks!

WIMA (and EPCOS) caps usually just give you the value. In this case the 0.068 (or 0,068) is the value in microfarads so it's 68nF.

For caps that use the standard codes, this site is useful http://www.electronics2000.co.uk/calc/capacitor-code-calculator.php?capcode=223&capacitance=220n&tolerance=+/-+5%25&tolerancecode=J.
