105 capacitor value

The code 105 reads as 10 × 10⁵ pF: 1,000,000 pF, which is the same as 1,000 nF or 1 µF.

With a tolerance letter

Marking	Tolerance	Minimum	Maximum
`105J`	±5%	0.95 µF	1.05 µF
`105K`	±10%	0.9 µF	1.1 µF
`105M`	±20%	0.8 µF	1.2 µF

Other ways it's marked

On schematics and parts lists, the same capacitor appears as 1u, 1,000 nF or 1 µF.

Where it's used

From 1 µF up, they filter power supplies, set timings and couple audio. Multilayer ceramic capacitors reach these values in small sizes; above about 10 µF, electrolytics are more common.

Frequently asked questions

What is the value of a 105 capacitor?

1,000,000 pF, the same as 1,000 nF or 1 µF.

Is 105 the same as 1u?

Yes. 105 is the 3-digit code and 1u is the letter code for the same 1 µF.

What does the letter after 105 mean?

It's the tolerance: 105J is ±5%, 105K is ±10% and 105M is ±20%.

Does the code 105 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.
