That address doesn?t work for me. Z5E sounds like a ceramic capacitor. The usual
interpretation of 3-digit codes is exactly like the 3 colored stripes: read it as
scientific notation. So 224 would be 22e4, or 220k. Capacitors are marked in pF so that
would be an 0.22 uF capacitor. Very plausible for a ceramic bypass capacitor, which is
what Z5E is if I remember right. For a tantalum capacitor, that would be surprisingly
low.

I can't
tell its value, the markings are 224 E5Z on one side and 038
ASF on the other side.
.. can anyone tell me what value/spec the capacitor has?
Err, was that maybe "Z5E"? I have found this page:
http://wiki.xtronics.com/index.php/Capacitor_Codes
very helpful in deciphering capacitor markings.
