Product Overview
150pF 50V Axial Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor for RF and Bypass Circuits
Condition
Unused NOS – New Old Stock. Excellent condition, supplied in bulk pack with no manufacturer packaging. Clean leads and visually inspected: OK. Sourced from an electronic parts retailer during downsizing.
This axial multilayer ceramic capacitor is marked 151, indicating a capacitance value of 150pF. Rated at 50V DC, it is designed for stable high-frequency performance in through-hole PCB assemblies. The axial lead format allows flat mounting against the board, making it well suited for legacy layouts and restoration work.
Overview
The 151 capacitance code represents 15 × 10¹ picofarads, equaling 150pF. Built using multilayer ceramic construction, this capacitor offers low loss characteristics and reliable operation in signal filtering and bypass applications. The axial configuration supports traditional assembly methods where radial or surface-mount parts are not preferred. Its epoxy-coated body provides mechanical protection and long-term durability.
