805 chip caps are great for decoupling, just drop them through unplated
through holes in your pcb and solder them top and bottom, lowest
inductance decoupling you can get, if you have a ground plane on the
bottom of your board.

Subject: [EE:] Use for small value (pF) caps


I've had a lot of fun buying SMT parts on eBay. A lot of reel ends and
leftovers.
Not sure what I'm gonna do with 7,000  0 (zero) ohm resistors but glad
they are 1% parts.  ;-)

More of a mystery is what to do with the small value (<10,000 pF) caps.
I don't do any RF stuff at this time and don't see much use for them in
typical PIC circuits.

Should I hold on to them for a rainy day, stick 'em back out on eBay or
maybe list them [AD:] on the PIClist?


thanks
