One inch is 'about' 25mm? So 0.5 mm = 1/50th of inch? Which = 0.02 inches? That correct? So 0.016" would be close???????????? -- |

It's pretty clear from looking at the picture of the capacitor that .5 cm is out of the question, and must be a typo on the original web page, while 0.5 mm is quite reasonable for a capacitor of that construction and size. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Friends of Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |

The post has been out there a while and we all assume it's a typo (I've
never seen the original poster reply about that) but 1/2 a centimeter would make HUGE plates...1/2 a mm sounds MUCH more realistic...
