Product Overview
General purpose multilayer ceramic capacitor with a nominal capacitance of 470 picofarads. The “471” marking follows the standard 3-digit capacitor code: 47 × 10¹ pF, which equals 470pF (0.47nF or 0.00047µF). Non-polarized construction allows installation in either direction. Radial leads support through-hole PCB mounting.
With only value and internal-style codes present, this part should be treated as a generic low-voltage ceramic capacitor suitable for signal-level applications. The compact body size aligns with small-value MLCC components commonly used in RF, IF, timing, and noise suppression circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the “471” marking mean?
It follows the standard 3-digit code: 47 × 10¹ picofarads, resulting in 470pF.
What is the voltage rating?
No voltage rating is printed on the component. It should be treated as a low-voltage, general-purpose ceramic capacitor unless independently verified.
Is this capacitor polarized?
No. Ceramic capacitors of this type are non-polar and can be installed in either direction.
What dielectric type is it?
The dielectric class is not identified by the markings. It should be considered a general-purpose multilayer ceramic capacitor.
What do “A1J” and “406 RCJ” mean?
These appear to be internal or manufacturer-specific codes. Without a brand or datasheet, their exact meaning cannot be confirmed.
Small value, compact body, wide usefulness. The kind of 470pF cap that quietly handles high-frequency detail where it matters.
