Capacitor Marking Table (Ceramic and Monolithic Cap's)

IMPORTANT: Capacitors with values below 100 pf may be marked two ways: Either with just two digits (22
pF = "22") or three digits (22 pF = "220",). In the latter case the third digit signifies the number of zeros
following the first two digits. "220" = 22 pF, "221" = 220 pF, "222" = 2200 pF.
