I have been in the search of finding everything I need to build a Full Drive. I've got everything except the caps.
Since I got all the stuff from a Finnish website, most all of it doesn't make sense. I looked on smallbear for the caps, but none of the names matched up.
I need(names from the Finnish site):
10nf
100nf
20nf
220nf
10pf
51pf(47pf)
1uf(Non Polarity)
10uf/25V("elko", dont know what that means ???)
100uf/25V(elko)
Well, if anybody can help determine what these are and if they are on smallbear, or anywhere, that would be great.
hey there... those "nf's" are mf or uf, depending if you are getting from smallbear or not.
also as a note, you might not get a ton of help with this circuit if you have problems. It is currently in production, and a lot of people here might have a problem with that.
Just to let you know :)
Well, my only question now is does it matter what kind of cap it is, and if so, how do I tell what kind to get?(ceramic, tantalum,etc)

10nf is also 0.01uF (Ceramic or Metal Film)
20nF is also 0.02uF (Ceramic or Metal Film)
220nF is also 0.22uF (Ceramic or Metal Film)
10pF and 47pF are standard Values for ceramics
The 1uF will probably be a Metal Film but Ceramics can also be used but metal Film is better quality....
The 10uF and 100uF are Standard Values for Electrolytics (ELKO probably means Electrolytic).....
All of these Values and Cap types should be easy to find even at your local Radio Shack....
Cheers
How will I find the ceramic ones on Smallbear? Is ceramic the same as Silver Mica? or is that something else?

haha wow, i'm an idiot and didn't even notice it said "nf"... i should pay better attention.
Well, I found all of them, except for the 10uf/25V and the 100uf/25V. I found the values, but the voltage isn't the same, can I get a 16 or 35 volt, or do I have to have a 25 volt?
no it doesn't have to be 25v
A good guide is that if it states 25v then get 25v or above. So go for the 35v ones then.
