How to Read Capacitor Value Markings

When you’re building circuits with capacitors, you’ll need to learn to read the value markings, which not only designate values but other parameters as well.

###L (Three numbers and a letter)	Numbers 1 and 2 are value digits.
	Number 3 is a multiplier: 0 = × 1, 1 = × 10, 2 = × 100, 3 = × 1000, 4 = × 10,000.
	Letter denotes tolerance: J = 5%, K = 10%, L = 20%
##p or ##n	Numbers 1 and 2 are value digits.
	p denotes pF, n denotes nF.
