[snip] One of the parts listed is a ".047 æF" cap, and although my electronics knowledge is decent, one of the holes in it is what the "æ" represents. (Yeah, I know uF is microfarad, nF is nanofarad, pF is picofarad, etc. Just never ran across something with the æ before.) From what I scraped together with Google, it's the same as a 47 pF. Thought I'd check with experts to be sure, though. ![]() [snip] I suspect that it's a font confusion and represents microfarad. We substitute the Greek character "mu" that stands for "micro" with "u" in the Latin alphabet when the character set does not support the correct representation of "mu". "MicroFarad" should look like this, "mF", if the font is preserved in this message. I have no explanation why it would come out as "æ". Tom |
