Capacitance Conversion
The conversion is straight forward and as an aid the following table supplies the values for any given capacitor regardless of age including those only identified by a code number.
A: The conversions are mathematically exact, though practical capacitors have tolerance ratings (usually ±5% to ±20%). Q4: Can I convert between non-Farad units directly? A: Yes, but it's often easier to convert to Farads first (e.g., μF → F → nF). Q5: What about millifarads? A: Millifarads (mF) are rarely used. 1 mF = 0.001 F = 1000 μF.
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.. A capacitance conversion calculator helps you convert capacitance values between different units of measurement.
Capacitor conversion involves changing capacitance values between different units (Farads, Microfarads, Nanofarads, Picofarads). This is essential in electronics where different circuits may require capacitance values expressed in different units. 2. How Does the Calculator Work? The calculator uses the conversion formula: Where:
At the other end of the scale electrolytic capacitors may have values of many hundreds or thousands of micro-Farads. In the middle of the scale capacitor types such as ceramic, polyester and a number of other types may have values measured in nano-Farads.
