Conversion Formula

pF = µF × 1000000

About Microfarads

The microfarad (µF) equals 10⁻⁶ F, the practical scale for power supply filtering, motor-run capacitors, and audio crossovers. Aluminium electrolytic capacitors range from 1 µF to 100 000 µF; DC link bus capacitors in inverter drives are 100-1 000 µF; motor-run capacitors are 1-100 µF per phase; audio crossover networks use 1-100 µF film capacitors. 1 µF = 10⁻³ mF = 10⁻⁶ F.

About Picofarads

The picofarad (pF) equals 10⁻¹² F, the everyday unit for small-signal capacitors in RF and high-frequency circuits. Ceramic chip capacitors range from 0.5 to 100 pF; crystal oscillator load capacitance is typically 12-22 pF; PCB trace-to-trace coupling is 0.1-10 pF/cm; the human body presents roughly 100 pF at radio frequencies. 1 pF = 10⁻³ nF = 10⁻¹² F.
