With a tolerance letter

Marking	Tolerance	Minimum	Maximum
`475J`	±5%	4.46 µF	4.94 µF
`475K`	±10%	4.23 µF	5.17 µF
`475M`	±20%	3.76 µF	5.64 µF

Other ways it's marked

On schematics and parts lists, the same capacitor appears as 4u7, 4,700 nF or 4.7 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 475 capacitor?

4,700,000 pF, the same as 4,700 nF or 4.7 µF.

Is 475 the same as 4u7?

Yes. 475 is the 3-digit code and 4u7 is the letter code for the same 4.7 µF.

What does the letter after 475 mean?

It's the tolerance: 475J is ±5%, 475K is ±10% and 475M is ±20%.

Does the code 475 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.
