Fifty millionths of a farad, abbreviated as 50 uF. Farad is the unit of capacitance. 50 microamps DC flowing for 1 second will charge a 50 uF capacitor to 1 volt.

The microfarad is a unit of capacitance, equivalent to 0.000001 (10 to the -6th power) farad. The microfarad is a moderate unit of capacitance. In utility alternating-current (AC) and audio-frequency (AF) circuits, capacitors with values on the order of 1 µF or more are common. At radio frequencies (RF), a smaller unit, the picofarad (pF), is often used. This unit is equal to .000000000001 (10^-12) µF.

It should work okay as long as voltage rating is equal to or greater than the capacitor you are replacing.


What does uF mean?

uF is a measurment in electronics called Microfarad. You will typically see uF on Capacitors for example 400Volt 150uf would be a capacitor rated at 400 volts and 150 microfarad.


Can you switch a 1800 microfarad with a 2200 microfarad capacitor?

A: I hope you mean replace. The answer is yes provided that the voltage rating is the same or more then the original.


Can a 47 microfarad capacitor in a microtimer circuit be replaced with a 470 microfarad capacitor?

No, the value is far too small. If it is the capacitor used for the timing, the time/s will be reduced to one tenth of the deisred value.
