This calculator converts capacitance value between units pF, nF, and µF F. The capacitor code conversion chart lets you find the capacitance by looking up the code. The first two digits are the value in picofarads, while the third is the multiplier. If no multiplier is given the result is capacitance in pF.
Capacitor Conversion
When working with schematics, repairing radios, and purchasing capacitors, you often need to convert between uF, nF, and pF. Microfarads are commonly abbreviated as uF, mfd, MFD, MF, and UF. Micromicrofarads, also known as picofarads, are abbreviated as pF, mmfd, MMFD, MMF, uuF, and PF. A pF is one-millionth of a uF, while a nF, which falls between pF and uF, is one-thousandth of a uF. Converting between uF, nF, and pF can be tricky due to the decimal points involved. Below is a conversion chart to help simplify these conversions.
