1 µF = 1,000 nF = 1,000,000 pF

How to Use

Unit Converter

Enter a capacitance value and select input/output units. All conversions are shown instantly.

Series Connection

Total capacitance decreases. Useful for smaller values or higher voltage ratings.

Parallel Connection

Total capacitance increases. Combine capacitors to achieve larger values.

Standard Values
