I have a few capacitors marked with codes I'm not sure about:

0.1/10/250
MKT 344 HQ

0.033 K
400 MKT

1000 K
630 KT

Can anyone confirm what they mean?

Thanks,
Adam

1nF, aka .001uF, unless it's electrolyitic, at which point it's then
surely 1000uF

Thanks! (I should have mentioned that none of them are electrolytic.)

DCWV?

nF? pF?

These seem to be various flavors of polyester film caps, originally
Philips but now Vishay.

The Vishay site doesn't list any of them, so they've probably been
given the old heave-ho.

datasheet archive.com has references to them, but I just couldn't slog
through their mire.
