How to Read the Capacitors
This is simpe explanation on how to read the most types of capacitors. Before you read a capacitor, you should know about capacitor’s capacitance value (farad, microfarad, nanofarad, picofarad).

This image explanation is very easy to understand, just click the image to enlarge and then save the image for future reference. Or download the picture here. You should be understand about how to read capacitors after looking the picture.
