Common Capacitor Capacitance Values
For example, a "K" indicates a tolerance of ±10%, and a "M" indicates a tolerance of ±20%. So, a capacitor marked "104K" would have a capacitance value of 100,000 pF, or 0.1 μF, with a tolerance of ±10%. Reading Three Digit Capacitor Codes. A three-digit code on a capacitor is a common way of marking the capacitance value. Here''s how it works:
