You should be able to get the 330 and the 100 from any of the majorI'm following a schematic that calls for 330nF, 120nF and 100nF caps.
I can't find a source for nanofarad caps in the US. Are they common?
Even converting to pF/uF I still can't find a match.
Does anyone know where I can get them from?
0.33 uF and 0.1 uF are common here. 0.12 uF may be less so, but would 0.1I'm following a schematic that calls for 330nF, 120nF and 100nF caps.

330nF is just another way of saying 0.33uF and so on.I'm following a schematic that calls for 330nF, 120nF and 100nF caps.

What drives me nuts is catalogs that express 0.1 uF as 100000 pF, withKasterborus wrote:

Its use is encouraged in order to avoid using the decimal point in component
values. The idea is that photocopying cannot reliably reproduce a decimal point
and also a speck of dust might look like a decimal point so it's best to avoid
them.
Even so, you should be able to find nF values very easily.

p.s. values like 0.0047uF always drove me nuts. I never could be sure what size
it was meant to be (it's 4.7nF or preferably 4n7), humans do not instinctively
respond well to number values several zeroes beyond the decimal point. Research
shows IIRC that we intuitively 'grasp' number values in the 1-1000 range best.
It's aeons since I saw that kind of thing. It's equally daft.On Nov 16, 10:49 pm, Eeyore <rabbitsfriendsandrelati...@hotmail.com

It's purely an American thing.with
no commas for the thousands separator, and in small print. Counting
teeny tiny zeroes all next to each other is a pain! There seems to be
a real aversion, on the part of some people, to using nF.
Easy. It's 4700 pF. ;-)p.s. values like 0.0047uF always drove me nuts.
