Capacitor Code Reference Guide

This document provides a guide for capacitor codes. It lists common ceramic and mylar capacitor values from 1.5pF to 470000pF (0.47mF) along with their 3-digit codes. Generally, the first two digits of the code represent part of the capacitor value in pico-farads, and the third digit specifies the number of zeros to add. So a code of 102 represents a capacitor value of 1000pF or 1nF. The guide helps to quickly determine a capacitor's value from its printed code.

Usually the first two digits of the code represent part of the value; the third digit corresponds to the number of

zeros to be added to the first two digits. This is the value in pf.
