Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 273J marking designate?
The three-digit code 273 designates 27 followed by three zeros in picofarads, equaling 27,000 pF (0.027 µF or 27 nF). The letter J indicates a ±5% capacitance tolerance.
Are these capacitors polarized?
No. Polyester film capacitors are non-polarized and can be installed in either direction in AC or DC circuits.
Why buy individual capacitors instead of a bulk assortment?
You get the exact 0.027 µF value you need for your build without buying dozens of unused values. Every component is inspected and ready to solder. Shipping is an $8 flat rate, free once the order passes $28, and orders leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
A green film cap does not need to be fancy to do honest work shaping an audio taper or holding a timing pulse steady. Plug it into the board, run your solder, and let the circuit do what it was drawn to do.
