Formula and example

How it is calculated

Converted value = original value × source factor / target factor

Worked example

4.7 µF = 4700 nF.

Things to check

  • The farad is the unit of capacitance. µF, nF and pF represent different powers of ten. Component tolerance and voltage rating are not assessed.
  • Rounding is applied only to displayed results. Very small or very large values may appear in scientific notation.
