i have a capacitor that is faulty and needs replacing. its 0.47uf or 470nf, i think that is the same thing isnt it? been a long time since i studied electronics.
I am not sure if this was a local culture of some companies where I worked on, or if it is a more usual practice, but we too often indicate in the schematic the capacitor type by its scale (pF, nF, uF), as for example in the case below (merely illustrative) on which the same value may be represented in different fashions:
