Default (k) in CAP uF Designation?

I've been posting about changing out the caps in my Toshiba TV. I have
gotten a lot of help, and being a rookie I sure appreciate it ... thanks.
I'm at the point to where I'm shopping for the caps and trying to get them
all from the same place and only have to pay postage once. I have a
question about the (K) being added to a few of them. I think someone else
posted about that a month ago or so and I can't find it. Most just have
the number of uF and the voltage but a couple of them are different. One
says, 1 uF- 50 V but has a (K) above the uF, and another is labeled, 10 uF
K and is 16 V. What's up with that? It can't be multiplied by 1,000 can
it? They are both pretty small in size. Gotta get this all figured out
before I can order what I need. Thanks in advance for your help.


Just ignore the K, it's probably a manufacturing date code or something.
