100,000
pF
100
nF
0.1
µF
Enter the printed 3-digit code and read the capacitance in each common unit.
How to use
- Find the 3-digit code printed on the capacitor.
- Type the digits into the field.
- Read the capacitance in pF, nF, and µF.
Frequently asked questions
- How is the code read?
- The first two digits are significant and the third is the number of zeros, giving picofarads.
- What does 104 mean?
- 104 equals 10 followed by 4 zeros = 100000 pF = 100 nF = 0.1 µF.
