00:00If you've ever been mid-build and realized you're one capacitor short, you know the pain,
00:04so today I'm counting down the top 5 capacitor assortments for reliable circuit design,
00:08and trust me, these are the deals you want in your parts drawer.
00:12Kicking off at number 5, this 50-piece aluminum electrolytic set is a proper workhorse,
00:17you get voltages from 10 all the way up to 100 volts and values from 0.1 microfarads to 470
00:23microfarads, so it covers everything from power supply smoothing to audio coupling.
00:27At just $2.57 with nearly 5,000 sold and a 4.9 rating, it's basically a no-brainer starter
00:35kit.
00:36Next up, the 100-piece ceramic assortment and honestly, this one's almost free at 40 cents.
00:42It's packed with the classics, 104s, 103s, 47 nanofarads, and a big spread of picofarad
00:49values from 4.7 picofarads upward, all rated at 50 volts. If you're breadboarding or doing
00:55general-purpose decoupling, this is the grab bag everyone should own.
00:59Number 3 is the SMD Crowdpleaser, 0402-1206 chip ceramics in 10, 22, 47, 100, and 220 microfarads,
01:09spanning 6.3 to 100 volts with X7R and X5R dielectrics. It's $1.99, it's got a perfect
01:175-star rating, and it's exactly what you need when you're populating boards and don't want to order
01:22singles. Fourth place goes to this 100-piece 1206 SMD set, 1 nanofarad through 100 microfarads
01:29across a full voltage range, all 10% tolerance. At $2.98 with a 4.9 rating, it's the sweet
01:36spot if
01:37you mostly work with 1206 footprints and want real bulk values without paying boutique prices.
01:42And the number 1 spot? This 200-piece 0603 multi-layer ceramic set, covering 0.1 picofarads
01:50all the way to 22 microfarads, 10 picofarads, 100 picofarads, 1 nanofarad, 10 nanofarads,
01:56100 nanofarads, 0.1F, 1F, 2.2F, 4.7F, 10F, you name it. It's $3.20, rated 4.9, and
02:07with that
02:07range in quantity, it's the most versatile kit on the list. All 5 links are in the description below,
