Metallized Polyester Film Capacitors

These capacitors are a kind of a polyester film capacitor. Because their electrodes are thin, they can be miniaturized.

From the left in the photograph
Capacitance: 0.001µF (printed with 1n. n means nano:10-9)
Breakdown voltage: 250V
[the width 8mm, the height 6mm, the thickness 2mm]
Capacitance: 0.22µF (printed with u22)
Breakdown voltage: 100V
[the width 8mm, the height 6mm, the thickness 3mm]
Capacitance: 2.2µF (printed with 2u2)
Breakdown voltage: 100V
[the width 15mm, the height 10mm, the thickness 8mm]
Care is necessary, because the component lead easily breaks off from these capacitors. Once lead has come off, there is no way to fix it. It must be discarded.
