Other ways it's marked

On schematics and parts lists, the same capacitor appears as 22p, 0.022 nF or 0.000022 µF.

Where it's used

Values below 1 nF are typical in radio circuits, oscillators and high-frequency filters, usually as C0G (NP0) ceramic capacitors, which stay stable with temperature.

Frequently asked questions

What is the value of a 220 capacitor?

22 pF, the same as 0.022 nF or 0.000022 µF.

Is 220 the same as 22p?

Yes. 220 is the 3-digit code and 22p is the letter code for the same 22 pF.

What does the letter after 220 mean?

It's the tolerance: 220J is ±5%, 220K is ±10% and 220M is ±20%.

Does the code 220 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.
