Thanks for that Dik Ive booked the page. Strange thing I cant remember why I asked the question, I must have seen it somewhere. I honestly do think Im losing it abit.

 

That happens to me all the time..... suddenly wonder to myself "why am I standing in my kitchen holding a screwdriver"?

 

Beware.

It may mean 0.1 milli farads (which it should do) which would be 100uF

micro farads are more usually abreviated to uF (and milli farads should be mF)

 

As ChrisPa says, it should mean 0.1 millifarads.

milli = 10^-3 = 0.001 = m
micro = 10^-6 = 0.000001 = u (well, it should be the greek letter mu, but where that's not available in the character set u is used)
nano = 10^-9 = 0.000000001 = n
pico = 10^-12 = 0.000000000001 = p
femto = 10^-15 = 0.000000000000001 = f
atto = 10^-18 = 0.000000000000000001 = a
