250 uufd?

Recommended Posts

I want to re-cap an old shortwave receiver but I cannot find a 250 uufd mica capacitor. As a matter of fact I can't even find any capacitor with a uufd designation.. Is there a cross-reference for this value? This value is listed in the construction manual list of parts from an old Lafayette tube shortwave receiver.

"Micromicrofarad" or "micro-microfarad" is an obsolete unit found in some older texts and labels, contains a nonstandard metric double prefix. It is exactly equivalent to a picofarad (pF). It is abbreviated μμF, uuF, or (confusingly) "mmf", "MMF", or "MMFD".

A microfarad is 10 to the -6 so a micromicrofarad is 10 to the -12  =  picofarad

Good luck with your radio. I  repaired lots of radios years ago. I wish I had some of the old radios I cut up for parts. I still like tubes!
