I'm ordering parts for my megadrum.
Is there any difference between an nf capacitor or a pf capacitor?
I can only seem to find pf or uf versions.
Does it really make any difference?
Also the voltage 25v or 50v any problems there?
Thanks again.

There is a BIG difference between the uf, nf and pf capacitor. Those abbreviations mean microfarrad, nanofarrad or picofarrad. In my opinion, the voltage is the same.

Hey thanks friend.
I guess pf means pf only then?

1uF = 1000nF = 1000000pF
So 100nF can be labelled as:
0.1uF
100nF
100000pF

Most american retailers won't label anything as 'nF' its usually as 'uF'.
Took me a while to figure that one out...
