Need help. What is the .1k in nf?

[Caveman1964]

It’s a polyester capacitor, old one. Not sure what this .1k is. I have these capacitors in nf. What is the conversion in nf?

Welcome to ETO.

The capacitor is written .1K

The K is upper case so is probably intended to represent 10% tolerance.

The .1 is probably 0.1uF, which is equivalent to 100nF.

So I guess that it is a 100nF 10% capacitor.

Thank you!

I agree with Jim, 100nF (0.1uF) - common value, and a common style of capacitor a fair few years ago.
