 232 ZHZ - What is this capacitor value?
Hello,  
 
I've been using these capacitors a lot lately and was wondering what their values are, or where there is a place I can translate them into their values?!  
(this is how they appear on the capacitor)  
 
232  
ZHZ  
 
Also... I've been working with a box of 'assorted capacitors' from Radioshack and was wondering what a .1uf cap might look like with the above numbering system?  
 
thanks,

Actually it says 223. I believe it's .022uF Anyone back me up on this?

Hey Tim,  
 
That means 22 followed by 3 0's, or 22000pF. Move the decimal 6 places to the left to get microfarads and you get .022 You are correct sir! :)
