It's the last letter - MFD is an abbreviation for microfarad - a unit of electrical capacitance named after Michael Faraday.
CommentIt's worth pointing out that MFD is completely obsolete. The SI symbol is the Greek letter, mu, followed without a space by an upper-case F.

What does MFD stand for on a furnace label?
microfarads
What is the full-form of MFD?
MFD is a long-obsolete symbol for microfarads. The modern symbol is the Greek letter, mu, followed without a gap by an upper-case F.
What does mfd stand for?
It's a long-obsolete symbol for microfarad. It also appears capitalised, MFD.
On a run capacitor what does the MFD stand for?
Farad is the basic unit for capacitance. The MFD is an abbreviation for microfarad, which is one-millionth of a farad. The capacitance of a 50 MFD capacitor is one 50 millionth of a farad.
Will 100 MFD and 80 MFD capacitors work in parallel?
Yes, 100 MFD and 80 MFD capacitors will work in parallel, assuming they have the same voltage rating. The net capacitance will be 180 MFD.
Can you put a 5 mfd in place of a 3 mfd?
Yes, we can replace it
If two capacitors of capacitance 22 microfarads and 45 microfarads are connected in series what will be the equivalant capacitance?
Capacitors in series are like resistors in parallel.CSERIES = C1 C2 / ( C1 + C2 )Plug 22 and 45 into that equation and you get about 15 microfarads.
Can a 5 mfd capacitor be used in place of a 7.5 mfd capacitor?
Sometimes. The exception is when the capacitor is used as a "timing" device. But 7.5 mfd and 5 mfd are so large that one would guess that they are not being used as timing devices.

Can you replace 820 microfarads 6.3v capacitor with 1000 microfarads 6.3v capacitors?
usually yes. what is it being used for?
What are mfd ratings?
It is a rating that is used to size capacitors in microfarad. MFD is an acronym for the word microfarad.
Is a 45 5 Uf capacitor the same as a 45 5 mfd?
yes mfd is short for microfarad
