Capacitor Code Converter
Decode or encode the common three-digit capacitance marking in pF.
Three digits only: first two digits 10–99; third digit 0–9 is the power of ten multiplier in pF. Encoding accepts only exactly representable integer pF, 10–99000000000; no rounding. Excludes decimal/R codes, tolerance letters and manufacturer-specific markings.
C(pF) = AB × 10^E; ABE

Common questions
Does this evaluate a real component or circuit?
No. This is a nominal calculation from the inputs, not component selection or a safety assessment.
