What You Can Build With This
- Arduino Blink with Decoupling: Add a 100nF capacitor across ATmega328P VCC/GND to suppress noise and ensure reliable LED toggling.
- ESP32 Sensor Node Power Filter: Use the capacitor on the 3.3V rail of an ESP32 weather station to stabilise readings from a DHT11 sensor.
- Raspberry Pi Audio Low‑Pass Filter: Build an RC filter (100nF + 1kΩ) to smooth PWM audio output from the Pi’s GPIO.
- CBSE Class 12 RC Time Constant Lab: Wire the capacitor with a 10kΩ resistor to demonstrate charging/discharging curves and calculate τ = RC.
- B.Tech Smart Grid Monitor: Filter ripple from a 5V USB supply feeding an ESP32 that logs AC mains voltage using a ZMPT101B sensor.

Wiring and Interface Notes
Connect the capacitor directly across the VCC and GND pins of your microcontroller, with the positive lead (if marked) towards VCC and the other to ground. Place the capacitor as close as physically possible to the power pins to minimise lead inductance and maximise high‑frequency noise suppression. For RC filtering, solder the capacitor in series with a resistor – this creates a simple low‑pass filter for signal conditioning.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 100nF, 0.1µF, and the 104 marking on the capacitor?
100nF equals 0.1µF; the marking “104” means 10 followed by four zeros in picofarads (100,000pF = 100nF). All three refer to the same capacitance value.
Can I use this capacitor for decoupling in my 5V and 3.3V circuits?
Yes, the 50V rating is far above typical microcontroller voltages, so it is perfectly safe and effective for both 5V and 3.3V projects.
