Surface Mount Capacitor
Surface mount capacitor are usually of brownish or yellowish colour, from the colour one can identify whether given component is capacitor to some extent.
But Most SM capacitors values are not identified in any way by visualising ,most of them think that they are identified according to there size but SIZE OF THE COMPONENTS DOES NOT INDICATE THE CAPACITANCE as each capacitor has a different number of layers according to there manufacturer.
The only way to "read" the value of these SM capacitor is via a capacitance meter.
But some of the SM capacitor has number on there surface as that of SM resistor (A three digit number or alphabets).
Similarly as SM resistor there values are indicated, i.e if the number is 107 then first two digit are the answer and the third digit is the number of zero's.
107 = 10 (two numbers) 0000000 (seven zero's)
These value of capacitor is given in pf, hence the value is 100000000pf = 100uf (100 microfarad).
