There are more and more hobbyists taking advantage of surface mount technology these days. With affordable tools like hot air and hotplate reflow ovens, electronics enthusiasts are shrinking their projects down to new levels of portability. Unfortunately, It's not always easy to get your hands on small amounts of SMD parts so here's a strip of common capacitors.
That's right, each pack includes 50 tiny 0603 SMD capacitors in cut-tape packaging.
This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Competent - You will encounter surface mount components and basic SMD soldering techniques are required.

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Noob - You don't need to reference a datasheet, but you will need to know basic power requirements.

Are those good for use with pic, avr and msp430's? Between vcc and gnd?
datasheet please?
Got the data sheet on these? That will tell us what quality they are...
They're probably Y5U dielectric or similar, given the +20/-80% tolerance. They are fine for generic bypass capacitors. I wouldn't use them for audio or precision analog applications (e.g., coupling caps in a headphone amp).
