[sdiy] Reliable web site for capacitor packages & types

[Harry Bissell]

I don't know that you could tell the dielectric from a picture of the package.

You'd need to know the manufacturer and get their data sheet to be sure...

But such a web site might be useful to tell (lets say) a ceramic disk from
an aluminum electrolytic... good for newbies only

Subject: [sdiy] Reliable web site for capacitor packages & types


Does anybody know a good web site that shows
good pictures of ALL the actual standard capacitor types
(ex: Polystyrene, Polyester, Metalized Polyester, etc..)
with their real packages ?
For an example:
On the net I saw a lot of false pictures of capacitors
named as Polystyrene type but they were actually
Polyester or something else..
This is very confusing when you sneak in your drawers
to find a specific type of capacitor and you are messed up
with the real package it should be in..

Any web site ?
