Cap markings/colors

Cap markings/colors

2006-12-13 by Paul Schreiber

a) for the non-polar electrolytics: there are really 2 ways of saying the same 
thing. Bi-polar (BP) or non-polar (NP). Some suppliers have BP on the cap, some 
use NP.

b) the color of the cap changed when the RoHS supplies came out. Obviously, the 
manual was written for lead parts.

Rest assured, I send out correct parts. There may be a miscount, but the parts 
are correct.
