104 capacitor value

The code 104 reads as 10 × 10⁴ pF: 100,000 pF, which is the same as 100 nF or 0.1 µF.

With a tolerance letter

Marking	Tolerance	Minimum	Maximum
`104J`	±5%	0.095 µF	0.105 µF
`104K`	±10%	0.09 µF	0.11 µF
`104M`	±20%	0.08 µF	0.12 µF

Other ways it's marked

On schematics and parts lists, the same capacitor appears as 100n, 100 nF or 0.1 µF.

Where it's used

100 nF (0.1 µF) is the most common capacitor in electronics: one sits next to the power pin of almost every chip, filtering noise on the supply (decoupling).

Frequently asked questions

What is the value of a 104 capacitor?

100,000 pF, the same as 100 nF or 0.1 µF.

Is 104 the same as 100n?

Yes. 104 is the 3-digit code and 100n is the letter code for the same 100 nF.

What does the letter after 104 mean?

It's the tolerance: 104J is ±5%, 104K is ±10% and 104M is ±20%.

Does the code 104 show the voltage?

No. The voltage is printed separately (such as 50V, or a code like 2A, which means 100 V) or only given in the datasheet. Replace it with a capacitor rated for the same voltage or higher.
