Capacitors

This is a list of the least expensive 'hobbyist' parts available from popular distributors such as Mouser, Digikey and Jameco. The aim is to provide a library of the most commonly used parts. So when you need a 100uF capacitor you can be sure that the links here will take you to the cheapest part.

Electrolytic

Through Hole General Purpose

Mouser's in-house brand (Xicon) is inexpensive and good for general hacking. The "General Purpose" part numbers look like this: 140-XRLxxVyy-RC where xx is the voltage and yy is the capacitance. For example 150-XRL-50V1.0-RC is a 1.0uF/50V capacitor.

Digikey's cheapest brand is Panasonic KS, KA and M series. The part numbers look like ECE-A1CKA470U where the single letter encodes the voltage rating.

Not all values and voltages are shown on this table so be sure to check the Mouser catalog page, Digikey catalog page or Jameco catalog page for all possible capacitors

Ceramic capacitors

Through-hole

Standard ceramic 'blobby' bypass capacitors: good for high frequency filtering. Less leaky than electrolytic.
