Product Overview
180pF Dipped Radial Ceramic Capacitor - 181J Marked, C0G Dielectric, ±5% Tolerance, Through-Hole
Condition
Unused NOS. Blue epoxy-dipped bodies marked "181J" with straight, unformed radial leads showing no corrosion or damage. Sourced from an electronics distributor consolidating inventory. Photos show the specific units you will receive.
Ships same business day from Idaho. Packed with care.
Backed by our guarantee.
Product Overview
Marked 181J: 180 pF capacitance (18 x 10^1), ±5% tolerance (J). Radial-leaded, dipped blue epoxy body, approximately 3mm wide. Dielectric type is C0G (NP0) - not confirmed from a specific datasheet but consistent with this form factor and marking. Voltage rating not printed on body; 100V is consistent with distributor sourcing and eBay comps for this part, but verify against your circuit's requirements before use. Lead spacing and physical dimensions: not confirmed - verify against your PCB footprint before ordering.

Applications
- RF tuning and filter circuits
- Oscillator timing circuits requiring stable, temperature-independent capacitance
- Noise bypass and decoupling in audio circuits

- Breadboard and PCB prototyping for hobbyist electronics projects
- Replacement in vintage or legacy through-hole board repairs
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the voltage rating confirmed?
Not confirmed from a printed marking or datasheet. 100V is consistent with distributor sourcing and comparable listings for this part type, but verify against your circuit's requirements before use.
Is the dielectric confirmed as C0G (NP0)?
Not confirmed. C0G is highly probable for a dipped radial MLCC of this size and capacitance value, but verify against a datasheet before use in precision timing, resonant, or RF circuits where dielectric stability is critical.
What are the lead spacing and physical dimensions?
Not confirmed. The body is approximately 3mm wide based on photos. Measure your PCB footprint and verify lead pitch before ordering for a production application.
Is a datasheet or documentation included?
Not included. The body is unbranded - no single manufacturer datasheet applies. Cross-reference the 181J marking against datasheets from AVX, TDK, Vishay, or Murata for comparable dipped radial MLCCs.
How many units are included?
Listing quantity reflects units available. Each unit is an individual capacitor. Order the quantity you need.
A 180pF C0G is one of those values that shows up everywhere - treble bleed circuits, RF tank circuits, vintage board repairs - because it sits right where precision matters and instability is not an option. These are clean, straight-lead, ready to drop into a board whenever you need them.
