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?
Wow !! I remember the UK101, they were great fun :-)
100nF at 50V or 220nF at 25V in fine for supply
decoupling caps, they're not that critical.
