this is an off Lynxmotion topic for me and doesn’t relate to any of my LM projects but other people may also be asking the same question?!
i am looking to replace a broken cap from a Mabuchi 380 brushed motor. the current (broken) one is .01 microfarad and 12 volts, this is all the information I have on these.
they are to cut out noise interferences from the motors so they don’t effect rc radio freq.!
i have a load of 100nf (0.1uF / MFD) but are at 24 volts!..
The 0.01uf to 0.1uf value difference is probably moot, but make certain you do a proper range check if this is a r/c plane.
So long as the voltage of the replacement caps is the same or more than the existing ones it is a non-issue.
Ideally there are 3 capacitors, one from each terminal to the case (that’s 2) and a 3rd between the two terminals.
If the broken cap is the 3rd one between the terminals then sure just replace it.
If the broken cap is one of the ones from a terminal to the case I would replace both the caps from a terminal to the case with the new caps having the same value… in other words don’t leave one at 0.01uF and make the other 0.1uF but instead make them both 0.1uF.
i have just ordere 50 x 10nF Ceramic Disc Capacitors for £2
