I came across this capacitor in a voltage converter which was converting 9V to 5V. This capacitor was connected at the output of M7805CT (i.e. between the 5V and common terminal) in parallel to another 470μF electrolytic capacitor. I cannot find a definite value of this capacitor. Different websites are providing different values of this coded capacitor. Here is the screenshot of what google search returned.

Please help in decoding the value of this capacitor.

Sphero Pefhany already provided the correct answer. Also check the comments below this answer.

The capacitors you mention are NOT using the default capacitor code, which normally is 3 digits for the value followed by one character for the tolerance, and optionally prefixed by a multiplier.

In this link there is a table: Capacitor-Codes

And at the bottom is an additional description (which do not apply your capacitor).

  This isn't too helpful for this particular capacitor though. This one is labelled differently to the table in your link. The capacitor in the question is 100nF, or 0.1µF. According to your link, this should have a code of 104 (which, to be fair, the majority of capacitors do!), so while this link is good for finding values on the majority of capacitors, it is not much use for this particular one (with the exception of tolerance).

  @SunnyskyguyEE75 my downvote was based on the fact that this answer does not correspond to this particular question. If it was an answer to a question about standardised capacitor codes, it would have certainly got an upvote. I cast my votes based on how well the answer actually answers the question being asked. However, I always leave a comment explaining my reasoning, and if it is fixed, my vote will usually change. I personally believe this is a good way of voting, I am not one to downvote and leave. I think most users would appreciate this, as I do for people who help me improve my answers
