Learn MoreThe various parameters of the capacitors such as their voltage and tolerance along with their values is represented by different types of markings and codes. Some of these markings and codes include capacitor polarity marking; capacity colour code; and ceramic capacitor code respectively.
The different types of coding system used for the capacitors are: Colour Code: A “colour code” is used in capacitors which are old. In the present times, industry rarely use colour code system except seldom on some of the components. Tolerance Codes: The tolerance code is used in some of the capacitors.
To decode the capacitance value of a capacitor, the first two digits of its code give us the starting capacitance value. For example, let's decode the capacitance value of a capacitor with the code 681J: The first two digits '68' indicate a capacitance value of 68 picofarads.

Some small capacitors are marked with codes like 1n0. The digits are the values before and after the decimal point and the the character tells you the dimension; so the example given is 1.0 nF (nano-Farad). Look for a letter code. Some capacitors are defined by a three number code followed by a letter.
To decode the number marking on a capacitor, capacitor 681J means 'it has a capacitance value of 680pF ± 5% tolerance'. In some cases, only a decimal value is written on the capacitor. For instance, if the decimal value written on the body of a capacitor is 0.01, it represents a capacitance value of 1µF.
