What Does The 102 3KV Mean On Ceramic Capacitor

Dec. 12, 2022

There are two printings on the ceramic capacitor, one is the nominal capacitance, and the other is the rated working voltage.

What does the ceramic capacitor 102 3KV mean? Let's talk about the two parameters respectively.

1. 102 is the capacitance value, and 102 indicates the capacitance of the capacitor. When the unit is not marked, the default is PF. 102 means 10^2PF, which is 1000PF. The easy-to-remember algorithm is adding two 0s after 10, that is, 1000

2. 3KV indicates the rated working voltage of the capacitor. 3KV is the DC rated withstand voltage of 3000V, and the rated voltage is the voltage when the electrical appliance is working normally. The rated voltage is the best voltage for the electrical appliance to work for a long time.

Therefore, 102 3KV means that the capacitance of this capacitor is 1000PF and the rated working voltage is 3KV.

Select a reliable manufacturer when purchasing electronic components can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. JYH HSU(JEC) (or Dongguan Zhixu Electronics) not only has full models of ceramic capacitors with guaranteed quality, but also offers worry-free after-sales. JEC factories are ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 certified.
