A single letter is often used to indicate the tolerance
of the component. These can be translated using the following table.
| TOLERANCE CODE |
CAPACITOR TOLERANCE |
| C |
+/ 0.25pF |
D |
+/- 0.5pF |
F |
+/- 1% |
G |
+/- 2% |
J |
+/- 5% |
K |
+/- 10% |
M |
+/- 20% |
Z |
-20% + 80% |
The dielectric material is often marked in abbreviate form.
