Can someone help me with this code: 1.0K 400A (it's a film capacitor).

1uF k-type dielectric with a 400V rating?

Hi Cliff; Thanx for your support; I just unsoldered it from the circuit; it's a 0,001uF measured. I've never seen this kind of code, and frankly I don't understand it, but I like to know the logic behind this code.

Usually those K codes are written like, 102K which is .001uf.

Hi Tom, yes that's what I normally see and understand. K stands for tolerance10%, right?
