Description
The Ceramic Capacitor 104 (marked as “104”) is a widely used capacitor with a capacitance of 100,000 pF (100nF or 0.1µF). The code “104” means:
-
10 → base value
-
4 → multiplier (×10,000)
-
= 100,000 pF = 100nF = 0.1µF
It is a ceramic disc / multilayer capacitor, known for low cost, compact size, and high reliability. Since it is non-polarized, it can be connected in any direction in the circuit.
Key Features:
-
Capacitance: 100nF (0.1µF)
-
Tolerance: ±5% to ±20% (depending on type)
-
Voltage Rating: Commonly 50V, 100V, or higher
-
Type: Ceramic disc / MLCC (multilayer ceramic)
-
