Hi;
A lot of the new poly film caps are not marked in microfarads or even with uF, they like marking things like 10K on them, which makes it sound like a resistor, but actually stands for 10,000 picofarads. Why they do this I have no idea, some are still marked in microfarads, electrolytic caps are still marked in microfarads, all it does is add confusion.
Regards
Arran
