Question about ordering caps from smallbear

[youngstownguitar]

This may be a stupid question but...
Im doing a project that calls for :

4 electrolytic 10uf caps
2 electrolytic 47uf caps
2 film 100n caps
1 470R resistor

And I cant find any of them on the smallbear website.  Are they labelled differently or what?
If smallbear doesnt sell them then does anyone know who does?

Also, does anyone know if the LEDs that come with the GGG kits fit a 3mm or 5mm bezel?


Thanks a lot

4 electrolytic 10uf caps
2 electrolytic 47uf caps

Smallbear uses "mf" instead of "uf"

2 film 100n caps

look for .01uf (mf)

1 470R resistor

R is another way of saying ohms. You want a 470 ohm resistor

2 film 100n caps

look for .01uf (mf)

100n is .1uf, not .01uf. Easy typo to make, just clearing it up for the OP.

Youngstownguitar, this is a good site to use to get familiar with the different ways cap values are written:

great

thanks for all the info!

Also, if you're using the search on Small Bear to find exact values, you may not find what you're looking for - many caps and resistors are set up as one "part" (e.g. Capacitor, Electrolytic, Radial 16V 2.2 mf - 100 mf), so a search for something like "47 mF" wouldn't pull the right results. For caps and resistors, it's best to browse by category. Also, as others have said, you'll want to convert nF to uF when ordering parts in the US as most places only use pF (<1nF) or uF.

Isn't that where Gil Mantera's Party Dream is from?  Awesome band.

They are the bomb, indeed.  Opened for them a number of years back.  Haven't seen 'em in a while though.
