Capacitor Conversion Chart

Posted on  by 

  1. Capacitor values can be of over 10 9 range, and even more as super capacitors are now being used. To prevent confusion with large numbers of zeros attached to the values of the different capacitors the common prefixes pico (10-12), nano (10-9) and micro (10-6 are widely used. When converting between these it is sometimes useful to have a capacitor conversion chart or capacitor conversion table.

Capacitance Conversion Chart. Todays capacitors have values given in Nano-Farads (NF) while the many circuits you will see on this site use Pico-Farad (pf) or Micro-Farad (mfd) to indicate the value.

Capacitor uF - nF - pF Conversion Chart When reading schematics, repairing radios and buying capacitors, you often must convert between uF, nF and pF.
Paper and electrolytic capacitors are usually expressed in terms of uF (microfarads). Short forms for micro farad include
Capacitor Conversion ChartuF, 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.

Capacitor MF - MMFD Conversion Chart

When reading schematic diagrams, restoring radios and purchasing capacitors, you often must convert between MF, nF and MMFD.
Paper and electrolytic capacitors are usually expressed in terms of MF (microCapacitor Conversion Chartfarads). Short forms for micro farad include
MFD, mfd, uF, MF and UF. Mica capacitors are usually expressed in terms of MMFD (micromicrofarads) (picofarads).
Short forms for micromicrofarads include MMFD, mmfd, pF, MMF, uuF and PF. A MMFD is one-millionth of a MF. In
between a MF and MMFD is nF which is one-one thousands of a MFD. Converting back and forth between MF, nF
and MMFD can be confusing with all those decimal points to worry about. Below is a MF - NF- MMFD conversion chart.
