With a tolerance letter

Marking	Tolerance	Minimum	Maximum
`155J`	±5%	1.43 µF	1.57 µF
`155K`	±10%	1.35 µF	1.65 µF
`155M`	±20%	1.2 µF	1.8 µF

Other ways it's marked

On schematics and parts lists, the same capacitor appears as 1u5, 1,500 nF or 1.5 µF.

Where it's used

From 1 µF up, they filter power supplies, set timings and couple audio. Multilayer ceramic capacitors reach these values in small sizes; above about 10 µF, electrolytics are more common.

Frequently asked questions

What is the value of a 155 capacitor?

1,500,000 pF, the same as 1,500 nF or 1.5 µF.

Is 155 the same as 1u5?

Yes. 155 is the 3-digit code and 1u5 is the letter code for the same 1.5 µF.

What does the letter after 155 mean?

It's the tolerance: 155J is ±5%, 155K is ±10% and 155M is ±20%.

Does the code 155 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.
