Question for electronics guys out there. I have a schematic with an accompanying parts list that shows some capacitors with units 'uuF' or stated phonetically 'micro-micro Farad'. Of course, in terms of units, the 'u' is actually the greek mu letter, but the symbol converts in English to a 'u'.
Anyway, is this unit pico-Farads?
In other words, for a capacitor with the spec 470uuF/250V is that a 470 picoFarad capacitor with 250V rating?
Thanks in advance, oh great and knowledgeable Icculus.
