Validate all three digits
The first digit is 1–9, the second 0–9, and the multiplier 0–6. Whitespace, letters, signs, Unicode lookalikes, and other lengths fail as a whole.
Three ASCII digits · exact units
Turn the marking into an exact capacitance.
Enter a supported three-digit code such as 104 or 473. CapCode reads the first two digits as the significand, the third as a power-of-ten multiplier in picofarads, and shows exact pF, nF, and µF values. It does not guess tolerance, voltage, dielectric, polarity, or component type.
Browser-local calculation. No photo, part lookup, backend, rounding, history, or indexed custom result.
Three bounded steps
Validate, multiply, convert units
Apply the pF multiplier
Combine the first two digits, then multiply by ten raised to the third digit. For 473, 47 × 10³ gives exactly 47000 pF.
Show exact pF, nF, and µF
One nanofarad is 1000 pF and one microfarad is 1000000 pF. Exact decimal arithmetic keeps every factor of 1000 visible and never chooses a nearby code.
A finite reference
Use CapCode for the marking job it owns
- Decode a supported three-digit nominal capacitance code into exact units.
- Encode only values represented exactly by two significant digits and a multiplier 0–6.
- Open eight reviewed code pages: 101–106, 224, and 473.
- Use the complete marking and manufacturer datasheet for every electrical or safety decision.

Keep the capacitance exact
Enter three supported ASCII digits and calculate locally. The result stays private and never becomes a generated public page.
