Panasonic SMD Caps - FP Series

Just a little reminder for myself the next time I’m trying to work out the voltage rating from the markings on Panasonic FP-series SMD capacitors.

Panasonic’s FP documentation uses a letter as the rated-voltage code. Examples include:

j = 6.3 V
A = 10 V
C = 16 V
E = 25 V
V = 35 V

Useful!

This marking scheme belongs to this Panasonic series, so I should still check the correct manufacturer datasheet rather than assuming every SMD electrolytic manufacturer uses the same letters.

Back to replacing capacitors I go.

Tra-la-la-la-la-li! :-)
