Frequently asked questions

What is the value of a 474 capacitor?

470,000 pF, the same as 470 nF or 0.47 µF.

Is 474 the same as 470n?

Yes. 474 is the 3-digit code and 470n is the letter code for the same 470 nF.

What does the letter after 474 mean?

It's the tolerance: 474J is ±5%, 474K is ±10% and 474M is ±20%.

Does the code 474 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.
