Smaller 150uF poly cap

Finally got around to measuring stuff.

First off, the Fnirsi meter is pretty nice, will it last…:man_shrugging:t2: I have an o scope by them, been a few years.

Next up, photo dump of caps…







Safe to say, poly caps are definitely low ESR compared to Electrolytic. If you’re looking for that last little nith of precision, measure your caps and insert data into your sim software.

Thanks for everyone that participated in my quest to learn a bit more about things. Hope someone else gained a little insight along the way.

Have the scope Fnirsi but still haven’t really tried to use it - it been damn near 3 decades since used a real oscilloscope as well as the accompanying brain cells.
