If it says mfd it should mean mili-farads - not micro-farads.


Not in the USA.


It seems the times are changing. 'Mfd' has always meant micro-farads in
the US but with the large capacitors being made now, 'uf' is becoming a
better notation so it's not confused with 'milli-farads' for the big
caps'.
