How to choose capacitors and types

[ShakyMcQuiver]

This applies to more than CB's, but I thought I'd post it here since I drug out my old CB stuff to tinker with.

I was searching for capacitor types to catch up on today's new tech and ran across this site that explains how to choose a capacitor and which classes there are. I really appreciate how they chart the different classes. It's basic stuff and probably old news to many of you, but maybe it will help fellow noobs? There are so many different types out there today that it will make your head spin!

Enjoy!

Which Capacitor Types Should You Use?

Capacitors are used in far more applications than just bypassing noise, and there are many more types of capacitors than just ceramic and aluminium electrolytic.
