  • Page 4: General Guideline For Components

    Humming Bee V2.0 General guideline for components • Capacitors: All values under 1nF should be ceramic disks. From 1nF up to 1uF should be SMF/MKT/Wima (foil/metalfilm capacitors) and over 1uF use electrolyte caps (or tantalum) 16V+ rated and watch out for polarity! •...
