Capacitor Chart

This document provides information on capacitor color codes, values, and codes. It includes charts for tantalum capacitor color codes, mica capacitor values, and general codes used to identify capacitor values in picofarads, nanofarads, and microfarads. The charts explain the meaning of the digits and how they correspond to multiplier values to determine the picofarad, nanofarad, or microfarad rating of the capacitor.

to be added to the first two digits. This is the value in pf.
