Entering 217Plus Capacitors
The following table describes the part parameters required for capacitors when 217Plus is the selected calculation model. The 217Plus model supports all but the Vacuum, Variable or Fixed (CG) subcategory of capacitors.
Parameter
Type
Description
Year of Manufacture
Integer
The four-digit year in which the device was manufactured (such as 1998 or 2004). The default is the current year.
Type
Choice List
Required only for the Other, Variable subcategory.
The type of device. Choices are:
Glass
Mica
Plastic / FEP
Capacitance
Real
The capacitance value of the device. This parameter is used in conjunction with Units to enter the capacitance units.
Units
Choice List
The units for the Capacitance value. Choices are:
F (Farad)
uF (micro Farad = F/1E6)
nF (nano Farad = F/1E9)
pF (pico Farad = F/1E12)
