I have finally decided to build up a new pick guard assy with a set of Tex-Mex pups and am going to follow the circuit outlined in the Jimmie Vaughan Strat. It calls for one .022uf capacitor in the neck tone circuit. I purchased three Fender T/V control pots (250K) and they come with a capacitor 1 CMSR223K, 250v S A34. How do I determine the capacitance value from that numbering system?

Any help is appreciated.

its a 223k

223 represents 2 2 000
22 000 pF which = 0.022µF

smagee,

You da Man! Thanks for the quick help and the education. They don't teach us mechanical engineers that kind of stuff for fear we'll serious screw up the world of electronics. I did make a color TV in 1977 though.

Now I can mess with my pick guard

Thanks

No problem brother. I've been a practicing twidget most of my life.
