just a quick query, i have just recieved a couple of ceramic caps,ordered as 680pf,
the caps are marked 68 rohs, no third digit..
right or wrong?
thank you

The information may be there but not be obvious. Can you post a picture of the caps you received? Capacitor brand may help too. Do you have the ability to measure their capacitance?

thanks john
i cant measure capacitance, i will try and get a pic later.

good to see your still on the forum, ive enjoyed your responses over the years,and learnt a lot too,.but ive
had to take a break for the last couple of years,

i wonder why we dont all use our real names?

For capacitances 10pF and above, the first 2 digits are significant digits and the 3rd is the multiplier. 680pF would be 681, 68pF would be 680.

Post a picture and indicate manufacturer.
