Usage:

1. Determine the required capacitance value and voltage rating for your circuit.
2. Identify the appropriate package type (SMD or through-hole) for your application.
3. Insert the capacitor into the circuit, ensuring correct placement according to the schematic.
4. Solder the leads or pads in place, ensuring good contact and avoiding excessive heat.
5. Verify the capacitor’s connections and ensure no short circuits.

Caution:

• Verify the capacitance and voltage rating before use.
• Handle with care to avoid damage to the capacitor body and leads.
• Store in a dry, cool place to maintain the integrity of the capacitor.
• Avoid exposing the capacitor to temperatures beyond its rated range.
• Ensure proper orientation in the circuit, especially for polarized capacitors (though most 68pF capacitors are non-polarized).
