I found a chart to convert caps and I just have a few that I am not sure of. If anyone can give me confirmation on these it would be greatly appreciated  :icon_mrgreen:

33nf = .033uf
10nf = .01uf
10pf = .0001uf
3n3 = .033uf

Thanking in advance

10pF = .00001uF
3n3 = .0033uF

Here is a link to a great site http://www.electronics2000.co.uk/

Just click on calculators and you will find a great capacitor converter.

If your having trouble with the conversions you should go HERE and download the "Electronics Assistant" software.  It's free and it has all the converters (resistor, Capacitor, Power calc, LED resistor calc....+ more).  Great for double checking your calculations.

Cheers,

I think if it like this:

u -> micro = 10-6
n -> nano = 10-9
p -> pico = 10-12 

1uF   = 1000nF
.1uF  = 100nF
.01uF= 10nF

1nF   = 1000pF
.1nF  = 100pf
.01nF= 10pf

1pF = .001nF
1nF = .001uF

hope it helps - I kind of think if these conversion in visual ways and it seemed to help me.

this has worked best for me...

just print this .pdf document on a sheet of paper and voilĂ !

intant cap value conversion with the added bonus of 3 digits cap codes!!  ;)

easy to find and remember, just enter "uf pf" into google, it's the first result. I always use this one:
