| Marking | Tolerance | Minimum | Maximum |
|---|---|---|---|
152J | ±5% | 0.00143 µF | 0.00158 µF |
152K | ±10% | 0.00135 µF | 0.00165 µF |
152M | ±20% | 0.0012 µF | 0.0018 µF |
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.
