Subject: SMD caps - no marking - why?

From: "sailingto" <sailingtoo@...>
Date: 2010-03-05

Subject says it all - most all the SMD chips have ID marking - except for caps, some inductors, and maybe a few others. BUT resistors, transistors, large inductors, diodes, etc - almost everything has some sort of ID marking...

Why does caps not have ID marking? It sure would help!! Even that tiny marking is ok - I can look under microscope to read.

Thanks for info.
