I am just full of questions today. Is a 82000pf the same as a .082uf?

I was searching Mouser for a .082uf cap and it pointed towards a 82000pf cap. Is that an error or do I need to hit the books and study some more?

Let's see here 0.082uF = 82nF = 82000pF. Looks right to me.

ooh ooh I know this one!

There are six decimals different between uF and pF.
Move the decimal point over by six digits and you have .082uF

So your right  :icon_lol:

You can also go the other way to find the pF value from a uF designation.

I use www.convertit.com if I'm being lazy (ok, ok, I don't have any conversion charts memorized!). It'll convert anything to anything pretty much. Just type out what you need converted (ohms, kohms, farads, microfards, henries, yards, miles, feet, inches, airspeed etc. al.)

For example in the "Convert From" box type 82000 picofards (or 82000 pf) and then in the "Convert To" box type microfarads (or uf).

Easy!
