Capacitor values are usually standardized: .10, .22, .33, .47 and so on. However, you might occasionally find an unusual value such as 0.15 or 0.27.
The codes below are generally found on ceramic (little round discs), MLCCs, and mylar (chicklet) capacitors, which are not polarized, that is, there are no positive and negative leads.
Usually the first two digits of the code represent part of the value; the third digit corresponds to the number of zeros to be added to the first two digits. This is the value in pF.
| VALUE(pF) | CODE |
|---|---|
| 100pF | 101 |
| 120pF | 121 |
