Capacitor Code Chart

The 7 Common Capacitors for Your Electronics Project. Ceramic Capacitors – The ceramic capacitor is a capacitor that makes use of a ceramic as a dielectric medium to separate the conductors in the capacitor. This means these capacitors are named after the dielectric medium used and their development. Capacitor Color Codes for Identification Chart. Capacitors may be marked with 4 or more colored bands or dots. The colors encode the first and second most significant digits of the value, and the third color the decimal multiplier in picofarads. Additional bands have meanings which may vary from one type to another.

Capacitor uF - nF - pF Conversion Chart When reading schematics, repairing radios and buying capacitors, you often must convert between uF, nF and pF.Code
Paper and electrolytic capacitors are usually expressed in terms of uFCapacitor

(microfarads). Short forms for micro farad include
uF, mfd, MFD, MF and UF. Mica capacitors are usually expressed in terms of pF (micromicrofarads) (picofarads).
Short forms for micromicrofarads include pF, mmfd, MMFD, MMF, uuF and PF. A pF is one-millionth of a uF. In
between a pF and a uF is a nF which is one-one thousands of a uF. Converting back and forth between uF, nF
and pF can be confusing with all those darn decimal points to worry about. Below is a uF - nF- pF conversion chart.
Just print a copy and tape it to your workbench....it will come in handy. Have fun with your radio restorations.
