Common capacitance conversion mistakes

  • The µ prefix is often written u in datasheets and on components, because the character is missing from ordinary keyboards. uF and µF are the same unit, the microfarad. The older American form mfd also means microfarad, despite the m.
  • The millifarad is almost never used in practice. A component marked mF is usually a microfarad in an older spelling, not a millifarad, which would be a thousand times larger.
