I cannot find info on how to read capacitance on all these ceramic capacitors in my lab. I probably have 50 different capacitors but cannot find instructions on how to read most of them, any instructions I find on how to give the multiplier or whatever seems to apply to only a handful. and its' very time consuming and Google is not working well either. The lab at the school I'm at is disorganized beyond belief so I just have 100's of these things laying around...Any help would be appreciated.
Many will have something like this: 10%
D .01
Z5P
20%
D 6800
Z5P
20%
.005 K
Z5P
10%
D .01
Z5P
There are also many with this written on one side:
KCK
220J
N750
Z5U
4700M
1KV
HliQ
.001
Z5R
IKV
E
.002
K
X5F
.0027
10%
Z5P
Now I know the percentage should be the tolerance right? How do I assess if it's in pico, nano, micro farads etc?
