parts

2002-05-03 by daryl groetsch

Hi, I'm pretty new at this, just received my Digital
Noise and Super Psycho Mod Source PCBs and had a few
questions about the parts lists, if anyone can help.

Capacitors: if listed 15n, what does the "n" refer to,
nano? What does 2n2 mean? 10uF is 10 micro Farad, but
what does 0.47 mfd stand for?

Resistors: what does 8k2, or 2k2 refer to? And 820R?

The Semi's I will just be hunting down! Does anyone
have any suggestions for getting parts in the US other
than at Radio Shack?

Thanks!

Daryl Groetsch

Capacitor values:
1 x uF (or u or mfd, or micro Farad) = 1000 x nF (or n or nfd of nano Farad)
1 x nF = 1000 x pF (or p or pfd or pico Farad)

100n = 0.1 uf or 0.1 mfd

Resistors: what does 8k2, or 2k2 refer to? And 820R?

8k2 = 8200 ohms
2k2 = 2200 ohms
820R = 820 ohms

If you have web access, there are several companies that are popular and
quite reliable:

[I suggest these two first]
Mouser: www.mouser.com
DigiKey: www.digikey.com

[others that are worthwhile]
Allied Electronics: www.alliedelec.com
Newark: www.newark.com
Dee Electronics: www.dee-inc.com

[screws, nuts, ... ]
Aaron's Machine Screws
www.aaronsmachinescrews.com

Hope these may be what you are after, Jeff
