Hosco CR-473 Polyester Film Capacitor 47nF (0.047uF)\n\nPolyester Film Capacitor\n\nHigh-quality Japanese polyester film capacitor, Size: 0.047 \u03BCf.\n\nUsed mostly for Single-coil pickups.\n\nCapacitor values for Humbucker vs Single-coil\n\nAs you are aware, Humbuckers have two opposite-wound coils in series (to eliminate the hum), thus they have double the inductance compared to Single-coils. Double the inductance means they require half the capacitor value compared to Single-coils in order to achieve the same tone filtering effect.\n\nNote, that the double capacitance for Single-coil would be in theory 0.044uF, which is not a standard value. The closest available value is 0.047uF.\n\nIn short, 0.022uF capacitor is used for Humbuckers, and 0.047uF is used for Single-coils.\n\nDo not get confused, when the capacitance is written different way, here is a cheat-sheet:\n\n--0.022uF = 22nF = 22000 pF\n\n--0.047uF = 47nF = 47000 pF\n\n--uF is micro Farad\n\n--nF is nano Farad\n\n--pF l
