Capacitor Self-resonance Calculator

A Circuit Cellar reader recommended the KEMET Spice calculator that lets you explore the Z / ESR / capacitance / inductance of their various capacitors:

KEMET Spice Simulation - 100 nF C0G SMD
KEMET Spice Simulation – 100 nF C0G SMD

As nearly as I can tell, my measurements on all those random capacitors fell into the right general neighborhood…
