getting the right part # from mouser

[anonymous]

Im trying to find .047uF and 47pF non surface mount caps.. and I can't seem
to get the site to cough up the correct part #. Any suggestions on how to
phrase my search query?

Also - whats the diff between linear and audio pots? lin vs log I can
understand.

Go to mouser.com, and work from the product guide on the left side of the main
page. Follow the string from passives to caps to the type you want.

Mouser has so many through-hole caps that, even working down to general
purpose, you've got hundreds of choices. It's not the ideal way to search.
Sometimes, nothing beats having the catalog, and the Mouser catalog will be
sent for free if you just get to the request page, available from the main
page. I think having Mouser and Digi-Key catalogs on the desk is a good idea.

If this is a hobbyist application, you're bogged down with too many choices,
and you're not particular about specs and need to get this done on the web, try
Jameco. They're fast and inexpensive.

Audio volume is logarithmic -- an audio pot is a log pot. See:

For the graph.

Good luck

Ive always been a big fan of mousers since starting into hobby
electronics. My only complaint about their catalog is that the last
issue or two they no longer have the quick select section for common
semiconductors. They once had a section at the front of the catalog
that listed common semis by number...1N, 2N, etc...... for those who
really didnt need a brand name specific part. The new catalogs are
harder to find these common parts.

Its still a good catalog though.......I order only from the webpage
but I find browsing their paper catalog easier and use the mouser
numbers from the paper catalog to make up my iorder on the web page.
