Funky Capacitor Code?

[Meat&Beer]

I have these little brown silver mica caps salvaged from a junked waveform monitor. Thing is, a lot of the caps have this weird code that I can't seem to find a conversion chart for.

5F 511G
1F950F
1F102F
3F471K
etc...

Hoping maybe someone can help me out on this? Thanks for the look-see!

meh, pretty simple, just look for a three numerical character code: 511, 950, 471, 102 etc. the other markings are manufacturer hoobily joobily/tolerances n such

511 = 510 pF nominal
471 = 470 pF nominal
131 = 130 pF nominal

silver mica so they are probably LOW capacitance, on the order of picofarads
SAN/SANG = sangamo manufacturer

heres a nifteh link you can punch in yer codez http://www.electronics2000.co.uk/calc/c ... ulator.php

have fun!

And that's what I was leaning towards, but have never seen this numerical alphabetical trickery in this exact such. Thanks man, very much appreciated!

I just finished finally putting all of my resistors away, which stray ones have been collecting in a dish for a couple years now... (This guy obviously doesn't have the codes fully memorized)

Don't let yer mess clutter and collect, guys!

You'll find similar 3-number codes on some resistors and pots too.

my favorite is 47k, so colorful and fun! yellow purple orange, they jump right out at me

What to do with those colorful components? I've mentioned before & will again now, those Honeywell ads that used to run 1964-78. Found some for ya, and I'll attach another example besides.

wow, those are cool leo, thanks for the link! i wonder how they sound....

have you seen the resistor/LED rock band picture?

does anybody have the schematic for this?
