caps on the OD and PAB switches

Post by Joost »

I forgot to order the caps for the PAB and OD switches. I do have 0,01 uF 1000V ceramic caps, but no 0,1 uF. Will these 0,01 uF 1000V ceramic caps do the trick?

thanks

Hi Joost,

The caps are ment to prevent clicking and switching noise from both switches and the voltage regulator. You can use any type of cap between 0.1 and 0.01uF for that.
