What is a 473 capacitor?

What is a 473 capacitor?

This is a 0.047uF – (473) Ceramic Capacitor Use this capacitor for power decoupling, having a smooth power in your circuit, timing circuits etc. It is always a good idea to put one of these next to the power pins of a microcontroller.

What is meant by 1000uf?

The microfarad (symbolized µF) is a unit of capacitance, equivalent to 0.000001 (10 to the -6th power) farad. In RF scenarios, capacitances range from about 1 pF to 1,000 pF in tuned circuits, and from about 0.001 µF to 0.1 µF for blocking and bypassing.

What is the short form for UF in capacitor?

Paper and electrolytic capacitors are usually expressed in terms of uF (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.

How does the capacitor code value calculator work?

The Capacitor Value Calculator will convert the three digit code into a capacitance value. The Capacitor Code Calculator will convert a value into a code. The formula that the capacitor value calculator uses isn’t really all that difficult, and one that you could memorize and do in your head. Really, its not that hard!

What is the code for a picofarad capacitor?

Capacitor Code Guide. pF = picoFarad, 10 -12 farad (that’s one trillionth!) 1 uF = 1 000 000 pF uF = microFarad (the letter u substitutes for the Greek letter micron) 1 F = 1 000 000 uF mF = microFarad (not milliFarad as you’d expect) 1 F = 1 000 000 000 000 pF Capacitor values are usually standardized–.10,.22, .33, .47 and so on.

Which is the correct value for 1000pf to 100nF?

1000pf = 1 nF. 100nF = 0.1µF. When designing circuits or using capacitors in any way, it is often useful to have these capacitor conversions in mind as values transition from picofarads to nanofarads and then nanofarads to microfarads.
