CAPACITOR READING
ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS Negative Lead Indicated Value (Capacitance / voltage) 2 Terminal Lead Positive Lead ALL UNITS IN MICRO FARAD (µF)
MYLAR CAPACITORS (Plastic) CODE TOLERANCE J ±5% K ±10% M ±20% C ±0.25%
4 7 3 4 7 000 47000 pico Farad is equal to 0.047 micro Farad J = ±5% Therefore the capacitance is 0.047 micro Farad (µF) ±5% tolerance
The value is 0.1µF ±10% tolerance. 0.1K 50V
