Can I Use Electrolytic Capacitor Instead Of Ceramic

Capacitors are measured in farads or microfarads not in ohms.

Can i use electrolytic capacitor instead of ceramic.

Hi all i am building a pedal and the list of components needed include 22n and 1u ceramic capacitors. Electrolitic capacitor usually marked one side with or a silver case where is the negative. But quite rare to have 0 47uf made of electrolitic unless it was the parts for old military standard. If you must use them try to find parts rated for the highest temperature and longest life and keep the ripple current down.

There are two main types of ceramic capacitors. Can i use an electrolytic capacitor in place of a ceramic capacitor. Ceramic disc capacitors are cheap but you can use a 0 001 μf mica capacitor too. Sounds like you are reading the value of the ceramic capacitor incorrectly.

An electrolytic capacitor is a type of capacitor that uses an electrolyte in order to increase its capacitance. If you can get ceramic caps even several parts in parallel do that instead of electrolytics. I don t have these parts on me but i do have those values for electrolytic capacitors. What is an electrolytic capacitor.

1 000 pf capacitor is equal to a 0 001 μf capacitor. Without seeing the circuit it s not really feasable to advise you what you could replace the ceramic capcitor with although you seemed to have proven that the electrolytic you have is not the answer and at very least the incorrect value. Class 1 capacitors are more accurate and stable over a larger range of temperatures while class 2 capacitors offer more volumetric efficiency more capacitance per unit volume.
