Often for example a ceramic capacitor may be given as a value of 100nF. There are a few popular ways of writing capacitor values.

This capacitor conversion chart or capacitor conversion table enables quick and easy reference of the different values given for capacitors and conversion between picofarads, nanofarads and microfarads. This helps reduce the confusion that can occur when having to change between the different multipliers of values. Simple enter the value and what it is expressed in, and the value will be displayed in ♟, nF and pF, as well as the value in Farads!Ī chart or table proving an easy translation between micro-farads,♟ nanofarads, nF, and picofarads, pF is given below. The capacitance value conversion calculator below provides easy conversions between values expressed in microfarads: ♟, nanofarads: nF and picofarads: pF. Therefore milli-Henries and micro-Henries are widely used and therefore similar conversions may be required. Resistors tend not to as their values are measured in Ω and higher multiples like kΩ or &MΩ but inductors are measured in Henries, and values are much smaller. When converting between these it is sometimes useful to have a capacitor conversion chart or capacitor conversion table for the different capacitor values.Ī further requirement for capacitance conversion is that for some capacitor marking schemes, the actual capacitance value is given in picofarads, then requiring the value to be converted to the more usual nanofarads or microfarads is required.Īlso other forms of electronic component use the same forms of multiplier. 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. Often when buying from an electronic components distributor or electronic components store, the markings of specifications may use different notations and it may be necessary to convert them.Ĭapacitor values can be of over 10 9 range, and even more as super capacitors are now being used. The capacitor conversion chart below reveals the equivalents between ♟, nF and pF in an easy to use table format. It could be disastrous to be out by a factor of ten! It can sometimes be confusing when a circuit diagram or electronic components list may mention the value in terms of picofarads for example and the listings for an electronic component distributor of electronic components store may mention it in another.Īlso when undertaking electronic circuit design, it is necessary to ensure the electronic component values are specified in the current multiple of ten. Under these circumstances it may be necessary to convert to nanofards, nF when components marked in nanofarad are available. For example 0.1♟ can also be expressed as 100nF, and there are many more examples of this type of notation confusion.Īlso in some areas the use of nanofarad, nF is less widespread with values being expressed in fractions of a ♟ and large multiples of picofarads, pF. Often there is an overlap between these multipliers.
