HISTORY:
Sustainability is the name of the game! Anything (that has been tested and still functioning properly) should be repurposed creating saving in wasted Ee and reducing the poisoning our environment when items are buried in the earth at the local tip needlessly.
Never heard of Ee? It is a concept that creates a measurement of ALL things (not just electronics) that humans have made and the energy used in obtaining the raw material, processing the materials right through to a finished product and even should include the shipping of the item to the distributors/retailers.

This electronic component is NEW, old stock
I have been unable to identify the manufacturer, the body of the capacitor has SYC marked on it but I cannot link this reliably with the manufacturer - at first I thought these were STC product but I am 99% they are in fact not. The only SYC I can find is an electronics distributor in Argentina so I do not believe they have any connection with these capacitors. We used to purchase from UK, USA and also Asia (Taiwan specifically) but I tend to think these were UK sourced originally.
SYC - Polystyrene Capacitor
Part # unknown
Value: 150pF
Tolerance: 5% SEE NOTE BELOW
Voltage: 125V
Axial leads
IDENTIFICATION ON THE BODY
(sYc stylised company logo)
150J
125
DIMENSIONS:
Body: 10.3mm Length x 4mm Diameter
Leads: 28mm Length x 0.35mm diameter tinned wire
COSMETIC CONDITION:
BRAND NEW
Old Stock
CLEAN
Leads are slightly dull due to oxidisation but still remain perfectly serviceable
TESTING:
Because the tolerance is indicated as 5% (J) and these are old stock, I undertook some testing
140pF
138pF
142pF
My current test equipment is a bit on the "budget side", lacking high accuracy but these test results would seem to indicate the capacitor values are currently slightly outside the 5% band, more comfortably fitting into a 10% range.
*** Where the photograph shows multiple capacitors, this advertisement is for ONE capacitor only - not all that are shown ***
