Product Overview
Unbranded 153K ceramic capacitor, axial lead style, rated at 15nF 0.015µF with ±10% tolerance based on standard capacitor coding. The 153 marking denotes 15 followed by three zeros in picofarads, equal to 15,000pF. Green epoxy-dipped ceramic construction is common in general-purpose signal coupling and decoupling roles. Axial leads allow easy installation in through-hole PCBs, perf boards, and point-to-point wiring. Suitable for low-voltage circuits where stable, small-value capacitance is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 153K marking mean?
153 indicates 15 followed by three zeros in picofarads, which equals 15,000pF or 15nF 0.015µF. The K indicates ±10% tolerance.
What voltage is this capacitor rated for?
The exact voltage rating is not marked on the body. Small ceramic capacitors of this style are commonly rated between 50V and 100V DC, but users should confirm suitability for their specific circuit before installation.
Is this radial or axial leaded?
This listing is for axial lead capacitors, meaning one lead exits from each end of the body.
Can this be used for audio projects?
Yes. 15nF capacitors are commonly used for signal coupling, tone shaping, and filtering in audio circuits, depending on the design.
Small part, simple job. The kind of capacitor that quietly keeps a circuit stable while everything else gets the attention. Its next solder joint is up to you.
