Title: 2000MFD. .01WV ?????????????????????
Post by: Seekonk on December 17, 2014, 04:16:55 pm

I thought this was a classic misprint when I saw it on a CORNELL DOUBILIER  2000MFD.  .01WV  capacitor out of a SUN automotive distributor tester.  A look at the parts list had it as 500uF .2V.   This was used to smoooooooooooth pulses on an analog meter that had a dat on back 1948.  Never seen a low voltage capacitor like that before.

That is low. I have some 100uF 6V electrolytics that are about 30mm long and 10mm diameter. I thought the size was a misprint, but yes they were.

What's the lowest-voltage capacitor that is commonly available? I could find some 1.8V niobiums (http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/NOJB476M001RWJ/NOJB476M001RWJ-ND/1469003).

I have seen some 1,5V Tantalum devices used in a Tandy dictation machine, they were tiny but the value and voltage were quite clearly marked.
