Help to recognise capacitors.

[scorpion73]

Can anyone help me to recognise this capacitors?

Many thanks!

Sure!

From Left to Right...

473 = 47nF or .047uF Ceramic disc
1 = 1pF Ceramic disc (looks like high voltage)
1nK63 = 1nF at 63V or .001uF at 63V Film box cap
10n 100 = 10nF at 100V or .01uF at 100V Film box cap
12 = 12pF Ceramic disc

Hope that helps

So they are not good for this project... http://db.tt/Nksuz6y6 . I have other two ones (1uf) that are correct, but i have to change those.. right?

[deadastronaut]

the 1uf is an electrolytic capacitor,  these have a + and a -    positive/ negative

lke this..

http://www.rshelectronics.co.uk/product.php?id_product=323


C1 - 1μF  electrolytic

C2 - 0.01μF  =  10nf....use your 10nf

C3 - 0.001μF =  1nf...use your 1nf

C4 - 0.047μF =  47nf.....use your 473

C5 - 10pF  =   10pf....use your 12pf

C6 - 1μF  =   electrolytic

C7 - 0.001μF   1nf....use your 1nf

OK so i have 1uf right ones. But what of the photo capacitor i have to change for the project i linked?

above post edited ok...

Thank you! Very nice people in this forum ;-)
So i have to change my 1pf with another 1nf

[deadastronaut]

yes we are...

I need more help! (I'm a noob xD) how can i recognise sleeve/ring/tip in this stereo jack:


And sleeve/tip in this:


Thanks as always !

I don't think you can. Plug a TRS phone plug into the jack, then take your meter, set it to the resistance setting, and touch one of the lugs with one probe, and touch either the tip, ring or sleeve with the other probe, until you find one that reads close to 0 ohms. That means that lug connects with that part of the plug. It's also extremely likely that the big lug (labeled 3) is the ground, or sleeve connector.

[GGBB]

This might be a bit easier especially if you don't have a TRS cable handy.  Assuming #3 is sleeve (I can't imagine it wouldn't be, but I've been wrong before) just insert in a regular mono phone plug (tip+sleeve) and check for conductivity (resistance = 0) across the lugs, the one that is connected to #3 will be ring (and the one that isn't connected will be tip).

[scorpion73]

OK i tried what you suggest: when i connect 3-1 with the mono jack plugged the tester show 0.1ohm, and connecting 3-2 it shows nothing. So 1 might be the ring and 2 the tip.

Is there any evident soldering error that a noob as me can't see?

Re-flow everything.
Especially the one above the 2nd zero in 2001, the one above that, and 3rd one from top, far right.
Just Re-flow everything

Be sure you get the pads hot enough for the solder to flow onto them. I like using a flux pen on the pads and leads to get a nice even flow.  This is what I use : http://www.mgchemicals.com/products/835p.html

Ok thanks tomorrow i will do it. I hope for a better result :-)
