CAPACITOR CONVERSION CHART – uF / MFD nF pF / MMFD uF / MFD nF pF / MMFD 1000 uF / MFD 1000000 nF pF / MMFD 6.8 uF / MFD 6800 nF. Capacitor uF - nF - pF Conversion Calculator: When reading schematics, repairing radios and buying capacitors, often one must convert between uF, nF and pF. Paper and electrolytic capacitors are usually expressed in terms of uF (microfarads). Short forms for micro farad include uF, mfd, MFD, MF and UF. Capacitor value table from 0.001uF to 220uF. Every value shown in microfarads, nanofarads, picofarads, European and EIA/MIL codes, and colour codes. Handy formulae for series and parallel capacitors, stored charge, and stored energy. Summary of common capacitor types and uses. When reading schematics, repairing radios and buying capacitors, you often must convert between uF, nF and pF. 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). Over time, a series of standard capacitor values have evolved, just as with resistors and inductors. Capacitors are available in a huge range of package styles, voltage and current handling capacities, dielectric types, quality factors, and many other parameters.Still, they largely hold to this range of values.

Todays capacitors have values given in Nano-Farads (NF) while the many circuits you will see on this site use Pico-Farad (pf) or Micro-Farad (mfd) to indicate the value.
The conversion is straight forward and as an aid the following table supplies the values for any given capacitor regardless of age including those only identified by a code number.
The last column for code numbers will also have a letter after the code indicating the tolerance:
