I have a few capacitors marked with codes I'm not sure about:

0.1/10/250 MKT 344 HQ
0.033 K 400 MKT
1000 K 630 KT

Can anyone confirm what they mean?

Thanks, Adam

0.1uF

0.033uF

1nF, aka .001uF, unless it's electrolyitic, at which point it's then surely 1000uF

Thanks! (I should have mentioned that none of them are electrolytic.)

µF %? DCWV / / /

this seems to be a Vishay part number

µF +/- 5% / /

\ \ \ this seems to be a Vishay part number \ DCWV?

nF? pF? / / +/- 5% / /

\ \ \ this seems to be a Vishay part number \ DCWV

These seem to be various flavors of polyester film caps, originally Philips but now Vishay. The Vishay site doesn't list any of them, so they've probably been given the old heave-ho. datasheet archive.com has references to them, but I just couldn't slog through their mire.
