Other ways it's marked

On schematics and parts lists, the same capacitor appears as 1n5, 1.5 nF or 0.0015 µF.

Where it's used

Values from 1 nF to 1 µF are used for filtering, timing and signal coupling. Ceramic X7R capacitors and film capacitors are the usual choice.

Frequently asked questions

What is the value of a 152 capacitor?

1,500 pF, the same as 1.5 nF or 0.0015 µF.

Is 152 the same as 1n5?

Yes. 152 is the 3-digit code and 1n5 is the letter code for the same 1.5 nF.

What does the letter after 152 mean?

It's the tolerance: 152J is ±5%, 152K is ±10% and 152M is ±20%.

Does the code 152 show the voltage?

No. The voltage is printed separately (such as 50V, or a code like 2A, which means 100 V) or only given in the datasheet. Replace it with a capacitor rated for the same voltage or higher.
