Product Overview
47pF 50V Axial Ceramic Capacitor - Class 1 Dielectric, ±5% Tolerance, Blue Epoxy Body
Condition
Unused NOS stock sourced from an electronics distributor consolidating inventory. Bodies are pristine - blue epoxy coating intact, no cracks or chips. Markings read cleanly: "47 J5A" in black print. Leads are unsoldered and straight, consistent with stock that was never installed. Photos show the specific units you will receive.
Ships same business day from Idaho. Packed carefully with ESD-appropriate protection.
No hassle resolution if there is an issue. Serving customers since 1999.
Product Overview
Vishay Cera-Mite 47-J5A axial leaded monolithic ceramic capacitor. 47 pF capacitance, ±5% tolerance (J), 50V DC voltage rating. Blue flame-retardant epoxy body with axial leads exiting opposite ends. Class 1 ceramic dielectric - NP0/C0G type is typical for this series, offering stable capacitance across temperature and voltage. Non-polarized.
Key Features
- Capacitance: 47 pF
- Tolerance: ±5% (J)
- Voltage rating: 50V DC
- Dielectric: Class 1 ceramic - high stability (NP0/C0G typical; verify against datasheet if dielectric code is critical)
- Package: Axial leaded monolithic ceramic
- Body: Blue flame-retardant epoxy, approximately 4mm, leads unsoldered and unformed on most units
- Non-polarized - no orientation required
Applications
- Crystal oscillator load capacitors (16 MHz, 20 MHz, and similar clock circuits)
- RF and high-frequency signal coupling and decoupling
- Microcontroller clock timing and bypass filtering
- Tuning and filter circuits requiring stable, low-drift capacitance
- Breadboard prototyping and through-hole PCB builds for makers and hobbyists
- Vintage electronics restoration where axial ceramic values are hard to source
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the dielectric confirmed as NP0 or C0G?
Class 1 ceramic dielectric is confirmed based on the Vishay Cera-Mite series classification and research notes. NP0/C0G is typical for this series. If the exact temperature coefficient code is critical for your design, verify against the Vishay Cera-Mite datasheet for the 47-J5A before use.
Are these polarized?
No. Ceramic capacitors are non-polarized. Install in either orientation.
Do the leads need to be formed, or are they pre-bent?
Photos show both straight and pre-formed (right-angle bent) leads among units in this lot. Lead condition may vary. All leads are unsoldered and intact.
What is included?
Capacitors only. No documentation or accessories included.
A 47 pF ceramic is one of those parts that disappears from your bench before you know you needed it - now you have a clean NOS stash of them, straight leads and all, ready for the next oscillator build or vintage repair that can't afford a drifty substitute.
