Hello all,
I just ordered my PCBs to build a few Green Pre's. I have several questions about ordering parts. Please bear with me
What do I do if the part calls for Polycarb, Polypropylene, Polystyrene, Polyester and only Ceramic is available?
How do I tell what the lead space is? 2.5mm/5mm etc... I don't see this spec on Mouser or Digikey?
Is there somewhere I can see part cross referances? I.E. 1nf = .001uf?
How do I learn about patterens? I usually only Radial, Axial etc. The part list I have has things like rad0.1 and rb.2/.4
How do I determine quality? What is WIMA? How do I know if the part is Good Quailty, etc?
How important is Tolerance and voltage rating?
Is it a good idea to order "extra parts" I.E. If I need 5 22pF, should I order say 10 to be safe?
Thanks!
