Capacitor identification..??

Oct 09, 2007 7 Replies

I have a capacitor which looks like a yellow plastic axial but is tapered on the +positive side and says AVX +9323 I think what follows is 20uf(not sure) +20V but if someone can identify what type of capacitor this is? I emailed AVX, like 6yrs ago and still haven't heard from them. I know these are not available anymore they were used around '92 -'93, but if I can find a suitable replacement, that would suit me just fine.



thanks



Could be Tantalum TAR series.

void _-void-_ in the obvious place

Yes, thats exactly what it is. So, then the + 9323 must be the production date? or is that an actual model number, I'd like to find the specs for it. I'm not sure if its 20uf the print is small it could also be 20uk what value would that be?

thanks for your help

I'm replying to my own reply, I figured it out, 20u means 20uf and the K means with 10% tolerance Vishay and Kemet also carry them

So why were you asking if you already knew ?

Week 23 of 1993.

K is a tolerance letter. It means +/- 10%. The value is 20uF and the voltage rating 20V.

I knew someone would ask that. He was told what they were, went checking, found that what he was told was right, and said so. He didn't know before.

Exactly right. I did not know before, I googled and found the answers after you told me then came back and posted my findings

thanks again
