How do you read a disc capacitor?
Read the capacitance of smaller bodied capacitors as two or three numbers.
- Read two digit numbers as being in picoFarads (pF).
- Read three digit numbers as a base capacitance value in picoFarads and a multiplier.
- Use a third digit of 0 through 5 to place the corresponding number of 0s behind the base value.
What is the capacitance value of 153?

| 5600 | 5.6 | 562 |
| 6800 | 6.8 | 682 |
| 10000 | 10 | 103 |

What do the numbers on a run capacitor mean?
The higher the voltage rating on your capacitor (or other electrical item) the faster the electrical current moves. The second rating is the microfarad (MFD) rating. A microfarad is a term to describe a capacitor’s level of capacity. That means the higher the microfarad rating, the more electrical current it can store.
How do you find the value of a capacitor in a circuit?
The amount of charge stored in a capacitor is calculated using the formula Charge = capacitance (in Farads) multiplied by the voltage. So, for this 12V 100uF microfarad capacitor, we convert the microfarads to Farads (100/1,000,000=0.0001F) Then multiple this by 12V to see it stores a charge of 0.0012 Coulombs.
How do you find the value of an unknown capacitor?
Draw a graph of current against time. Use your graph to calculate the time constant of the discharge circuit and hence the capacitance of the capacitor. From your graph estimate the charge stored in the capacitor. Measure the pd across the fully charged capacitor and recalculate the value of the capacitance.
What does the 3 digit capacitor code 473 mean?
The 3 digit capacitor code 473 stands for 47 nF, in words: fourty-seven nanofarads capacitance. This is a simple online calculator for color band resistor marking, inductor color band marking, ceramic or tantalum capacitor 3 digit marking and SMD resistor 3-digit, 4-digit, 10%, 5%, 2% and EIA-96 (E96) 1% tolerance code marking.
How do I calculate the value of the capacitor?
Calculate Capacitor Values. Enter the code in the box below and then hit the button to calculate the value of the capacitor. If the rightmost digit is zero, then the code may be a value in pF instead of the 3-digit code… example: 100 should indicate 10pF but it may instead be a marking of the actual value of 100pF.
What is the capacitor code for a ceramic capacitor?
For example if a ceramic capacitor has a code ‘5’ and other has ‘47’, their respective capacitance values are 5 pF and 47 pF. For 3 digit’s capacitor code, the first two digits are the capacitance value in pF and the third digit is a multiplier factor of first two digits to calculate the final capacitance value of the capacitor.
Where did the gold plated variable disc capacitor come from?
