Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Microfarads (μF) and Picofarads (pF)?
One Microfarad (μF) is equal to 1,000,000 Picofarads (pF). Microfarads are standard for power filtering and audio bypass, while picofarads are used in high-frequency RF and oscillator circuits.
What does a 3-digit capacitor code mean?
On ceramic capacitors, a 3-digit code denotes the capacitance in picofarads. The first two digits are the value, and the third digit is the power-of-ten multiplier. For example, ‘104’ means 10 × 10⁴ pF = 100,000 pF = 0.1 μF.
What happens when you connect capacitors in parallel?
When capacitors are connected in parallel, their individual capacitance values add together directly (C = C1 + C2 + C3), increasing the total charge storage capacity.
