Hi I just received what purport to be some through hole 5.6pF MLCC's marked 569, how does this relate to the value?
I understand MLCC's marked 101, 102, 473 as the last number is the multiplier (how many zeroes) but xx9?
Whilst an internet can decipher the value it offers no explanation of the value numbering origin for such low value MLCC's
Please explain.
Thanks
Dave
No it doesn't appear to be a 'typo' as this is the text on the actual capacitors (attached) see below. They were from a well known UK supplier although will have originated from China as does everything these days?
I can't imagine what the 9 stands for..... it can't be a multiplier.....mysterious!
Dave
Have you measured them - perhaps they are 56nF 
Not really - I just saw your bit about looking them up.

Ha!
Mystery solved...the xx9 (9) means there is NO multiplier and infers that the value is BELOW 10pF.
I just found this chart (below)
Once the value increases above 9.1pF the familiar 100 appears to operate.
I guess I never used MLCC's below 10pF before...amazing!
