00:00Got a circuit that's humming, buzzing, or picking up noise it shouldn't?
00:049 times out of 10, the fix is a handful of good X7 or ceramic caps, and today I'm saving
00:09you the
00:09trouble of digging through listings, because I've rounded up the top 5 X7 or ceramic capacitor
00:14kits for noise filtering, all at prices that honestly made me double take. Let's get into it.
00:21First up, the 100-piece 0805 SMD kit, and this one's my pick if you want a proper all-rounder.
00:28You get a huge spread of values, from tiny picofarad caps all the way up to 10 microfarad,
00:33plus COG options in there for when you need something stable, not just cheap.
00:37The voltage range goes up to 50 volts, which covers basically every hobby project you'll touch.
00:43It's 5 stars from thousands of buyers, and at $3.61 it's the kit I'd actually keep on my bench
00:49permanently. Now, if your budget is basically pocket lint, check this out, 100 pieces of X7
00:55or 0805 caps for $0.89. I'm not kidding, less than a dollar. You still get that wide value range
01:04from
01:041 picofarad up to 47 microfarads, all rated at 50 volts with a 10% tolerance, which is plenty tight
01:10for decoupling and noise filtering work. For the price of a candy bar you've got a full decade of
01:16caps. If you're just starting out, honestly, start here. Number 3 is the specialist, 50 pieces of
01:23100 nanofarad 104k caps, and if you know, you know, 100 nanofarads is the classic decoupling cap.
01:30Every chip on your board wants one sitting right next to its power pin, and these handle up to 250
01:36volts, which is way more headroom than most kits offer. The 10% tolerance in X7 are dielectric mean
01:42they stay predictable. At $2.31 for 50 of the one cap you'll use the most, it's just smart to
01:49have a
01:49dedicated pack of these. Fourth up is the kit for anyone working with tiny footprints, it covers 0402,
01:580603, 0805, and 1206 sizes, so whatever board you're repairing or designing, there's a cap that fits.
02:04The standout here is the big value range, 10, 22, 33, even 47 microfarad ceramics, which are fantastic
02:12for smoothing out noisy power rails. Ratings sit at a perfect 5 stars, and at $3.17 it's the one
02:19I'd grab
02:19if you do a mix of SMD repair work. And finally, the absolute value king, 100 pieces of 100 nanofarads
02:27X7 are caps for $0.68. Yes, $0.68 for 100 caps. These are the same workhorse 0.1 microfarads
02:36104d couplers
02:37everyone burns through constantly, rated 50 volts with 10% tolerance. You will run out of these before
02:44you run out of projects, so at this price it makes zero sense not to have a pack waiting.
02:49Nearly 3,100 sold and sitting at 4.9 stars, the math speaks for itself.
02:55So those are my top 5 X7 are ceramic capacitor kits for noise filtering, whether you want the full
03:00assortment, the dirt cheap bulk packs, or a dedicated 100 nanofarad stash, there's something here for every
03:06bench. All the links are in the description below, so go grab the one that fits your setup.
