Re: [PolySix] KLM Clone: plastic film vs. polyster caps

2010-09-16 by Jed Jorgensen

For the plastic film caps, I would think you'll be fine
with polyester,polystyrene, polypropylene, PTFE, metalized, etc.

As for 473K ...I assume you mean 473 "XX" farads? What is the value you are
talking about.

For the caps needed on the board:
0.047 microfarads = 47 nanofarads = 47,000 picofarads

Take your pick.

Best regards,

Jed
