FAQ

How do I convert nanofarads to farads?

Divide the nanofarad value by 1,000,000,000 (or multiply by 10⁻⁹). For example, 8,200 nF = 0.0000082 F.

How do nanofarads compare to picofarads?

One nanofarad equals 1,000 picofarads. Nanofarads are used for medium-range capacitance values between picofarads and microfarads.

What is the abbreviation for nanofarad?

The nanofarad is abbreviated as nF, using the lowercase "n" for nano- (10⁻⁹) and uppercase "F" for farad.

How are nanofarad values marked on ceramic capacitors?

Ceramic capacitors use a three-digit code where the first two digits are significant figures and the third is the multiplier in picofarads. For example, "472" means 47 × 100 = 4,700 pF = 4.7 nF.
