#161178 - That C### is a capacitor number, I think
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Cuenta Chocula said:
One of the parts I was hoping to scavenge from the clock radio was a crystal to use as a clock on my 8051. Looking at the schematic of the 8650, I saw that pin 27 was the clock and off that line was a resistor and a thing that looked like a pancake capacitor but was green, shiny and square with rounded edges.

I'd guess those are cap's.
There are a lot of these throughout the boards in this clock radio and I'm not sure if they're crystals or caps. They are labeled C### just like the other capacitors are on the boards, but I'm hoping that they're crystals that I can use to drive the 8051. Here are some part numbers if anyone knows what they are (google gave too much info with too little of it useful):


Here's what the first hit in a Google search on capacitor value designations yields

561J G2A

possibly 560 pf 5%
2A 152

possibly 1500 pf
2A 473K

possibly .047 uF 10%

2A 103JT (this is the one off pin 27 of the clock IC)

probably 0.01 microfarad (uF) 5%, and, based on your description, possibly part of an RC oscillator used to time the logic that multiplexes the LED digit drive.

2A 333K
I'd guess that's 33000 pf, or .033 uF 10%

I could be wrong, of course ... never having seen the board.

                        Interesting concept            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Don't think so            01/01/70 00:00      
                           make a FULL schematic            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Of course            01/01/70 00:00
