does mOhms mean mega or mili?

[evilkitty]

I was looking for alternate caps to replace one i have in cart that is not in stock when i came across a Panasonic EEU-FS (i do not recall seeing anyone here recommend this series but it is a new one)
https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail...c/EEU-FS1V331L

anyway i have a FR series cap with a ESR of 41 mOhms but this EEU-FS cap has a ESR of 0.041 Ohms, since both these caps are a "Low ESR Electrolytic Capacitors" i guess mOhms would have to mean mili right? unless "low" is entirely an opinion

yes - small m is the givaway.

m- milli, 10^-3

M- mega, 10^6

Do you really think posting in the same thread as a cat is a good idea?

A long time ago i made a change change utility for a web site...
i just on a whim made it it's own html page
so now you can type in iNvErTeD CaSe all day without ever typing it
*Protip you can have firefox open bookmarks in the side bar (see bookmark settings)

Thank you, yes, capitalization matters... Serious pet peeve against when people write the wrong capitalization for SI unit multipliers, despite a lot of times it cam be inferred (a capacitor with megohms or kiloohms (what's the correct spelling of kilo ohms anyway?) of ESR is virtually useless...)

Now I just need to make sure people get bit and Byte correct as the difference between mb (nominally millibit) and MB (nominally megabyte) is huge...
