Hi,
The Compukit UK101 has several ceramic capacitors, all
marked 104Z 25V,
which judging by what I've found on the web so far makes them .1uF. My local
Maplins (sorry, that seems to be a swear word in some parts) only has 224Z
at 25V (I'd guess .2uF?) and 104Z at 50V, half the size.
What can I get away with? Or am I right in assuming I need to match exactly?
It's ok - I know how it is with maplin - can be hard to pick up bits and
bobs these days, all the little stores are closing.
I don't remember my capacitor markings that well, but you seem to have
covered that. The voltage stated is a maximum working voltage, so you
should use the 104Z 50V version, *not* the 224Z.
Hope this helps :&)
