Hi could you please tell me the tolerance and all the values for this capacitor

Question

Hi could you please tell me the tolerance and all the values for this capacitor and how you worked this out-

Also any other things that may cause errors when using this capacitor in a circuit would be helpful

Please refer to this capacitor specifically and not just post a chart with details on how to find the capacitance and tolerance for capacitors in general Many thanks If your having troubles seeing the numbers on the capacitor it says 39nJ100 Hi could you please tell me the tolerance and all the values for this capacitor and how you worked this out-

Explanation / Answer

Most capacitors will have their value printed on them. However, there are manufacturers who use the "IEC" code. This code is a numerical code, but works in a similar way to the resistor color code: two figures followed by a multiplier. There is often a single letter code showing tolerance. The last value is the working voltage 39nJ100 Meaning: 39 nF (nano farads) with with J:+/-5% tolerance and 100: 100V max working voltage.
