A question about the codes on capacitors
Posted by: Nightmonkeyii on 2020-03-11 23:49:12
hi all,

Just curious about the first row on the capacitors that ill be replacing on a number of my macs. Ive noted everything down. For example, The 47uf 16v seems to be common, and on all macines measure 6.55mm, measured with a digital vernier. But the first row varies on each machine. The iisi is b4, lciii is 2t. 580cd is f4 and classic ii is 2u. What does it mean?

Wild guess: it might be a date code?  I believe the Japanese standard date coding for SMD components uses lowercase letters...

I didnt think it had any real value, was hoping it wasnt a value multiplier. Cheers cheesestraws
