The Capacitance Substitution Box is a convenient instrument in determining the desired capacitance values in
circuits under design or test. The values selected for your capacitance substitution box were determined to be
the most commonly used in modern solid-state circuits. The values are from 100pF to .1mF in 24 steps.

IDENTIFYING CAPACITOR VALUES
Capacitors will be identified by their capacitance value in pF (picofarads), nF (nanofarads), or mF (microfarads). Most
capacitors will have their actual value printed on them. Some capacitors may have their value printed in the following
manner. The maximum operating voltage may also be printed on the capacitor.
