Capacitance Converter

Convert between farads, microfarads, nanofarads and picofarads.

Capacitor values are tiny — real parts range from picofarads in RF circuits to microfarads in power supplies — so capacitance is almost always quoted with a prefix, and datasheets, schematics and part markings switch between µF, nF and pF freely. A 100 nF decoupling cap and a 0.1 µF one are identical, which trips up beginners constantly.

This converter moves any capacitance between farads, millifarads, microfarads, nanofarads and picofarads instantly, clearing up exactly that kind of confusion.
