104 Ceramic Capacitor 100nF (0.1µF) – 1 Piece

The 104 Ceramic Capacitor 100nF (0.1µF) is a commonly used capacitor for electronic circuits where small-value capacitance is required for filtering, decoupling, and bypass applications.

The 104 code can be decoded as follows:

10 × 10⁴ pF = 100,000pF = 100nF = 0.1µF.

Because ceramic capacitors are non-polarized, they can generally be installed in either orientation in a circuit. The exact electrical characteristics, however, depend on the specific capacitor's dielectric, tolerance, voltage rating, and construction.

Features

• Equivalent to 0.1µF
• Equivalent to 100,000pF
• Non-polarized component
• Compact construction
• Suitable for filtering and decoupling
• Commonly used for IC bypass applications
• Useful for breadboard, PCB, repair, and DIY electronics projects
• 1 piece supplied

Applications

• IC power-supply decoupling
• Digital circuit bypassing
• Noise suppression
• Power-line filtering
• Signal filtering
• Arduino and microcontroller projects
• Sensor circuits
• Breadboard prototyping
• PCB repair and modification
• General-purpose electronic circuits

How to Use

For typical IC decoupling, the capacitor can be connected between the circuit's VCC and GND lines. For filtering applications, connect it according to the circuit design and required capacitance.

Since the capacitor is non-polarized, there is normally no positive or negative orientation to follow.

Important Notes

• 104 = 100nF = 0.1µF = 100,000pF.
• The 104 marking alone does not identify the voltage rating or tolerance.
• Verify the capacitor's voltage rating before connecting it to a power rail.
• Do not exceed the component's specified voltage rating.
• Actual capacitance may vary according to tolerance, temperature, applied voltage, and dielectric type.
• The physical size and appearance may vary depending on available stock.
• This product is supplied as 1 piece, not a pack.
