Re: HP 8656B
Hello Dave, I think that avoiding use of mF is for the reason that a long time ago, ie, when I was young, a capacitor marked 8 mF was known to be 8 microFarad. The use of uF is a Johnny come lately,

Re: HP 8656B
It is strange why mF are rarely used. We use mV, mA, m ohm, mH, mm, but when it comes to capacitors one uses fF, pF, nF, uF and farads, but rarely mF. A capacitor of 0.022 F is rarely called 22 mF,

Re: HP 8656B
Sure, I can't disagree with that. Yebbut...moving the unit there? Why not just replace the period with something more visible? Even 'X' would do. Even '/'. But don't move the unit...that belongs to

This is also done in finance where M is 1000 and MM is million. Really odd!

It was almost certainly done because decimal points would disappear, or a spec of dust would turn into a decimal point, especially on those parts lists that came from micro-fiche. It's pretty hard to

Late into this thread, may be misunderstanding the issue. Reads like you need a 20V 24,000uF axial cap to fit in a 104 x 28mm space on a pcb? Digi and Mouser both have a 15,000 uF axial 25V part with
