    The document provides a chart for common ceramic and mylar capacitor values along with their codes. It also explains how to read the values from the numbers on the capacitor.

    To find the value, you take the first two numbers and multiply them by 10 to the power of the third number. If the last number is 8 or 9, you multiply by 0.01 or 0.1 respectively. If there are only one or two numbers, it is the value directly in picofarads.

    The third number is a multiplier that you raise 10 to the power of to get the final value. The letter indicates the tolerance in percentage.

    To read a Ceramic or Mylar capacitor, you will find 3 numbers and sometimes a
    letter. To find the value, you get the first two numbers and multiply that by the third
    number to the power of ten. If the last numbers are 8 or 9, you will have to multiply
    them by 0.01 and 0.1 respectively.

    If the capacitor has only two or less numbers, it is probably the actual value in pF.

    1 10 F 1%
    2 100 G 2%
    3 1000 H 3%
