heya,

so I was given some old parts by a friend of mine, and there are a couple that I don't know what they are and also can't seem to find anything online  :icon_redface:.

1. First up are these axial resistor-looking things but smaller, they are green and have the markings "CGW 102 KIK 335".  My guess is a 1000pF cap?

2. Next is another axial thingamajig, but blue this time and a little bigger, with the markings "91637 8324J 4221FS 15861".  No clue.

3. Looks like a diode, but nothing that would indicate that one end's different from the other.  "A50 104Z E127".  Shows how much I know.

4. Lastly, yellow "thing" with any "legs" in a row.  My guess is some sort of array. "DALE 1-151G 8603".  150pF ceramic cap array maybe?


Thank you guys so much for your help!

Most of your assumptions sound right enough, but some pics would be most helpful.  And a Multi meter will confirm some of your suspicions too.

problem is I don't have a MM that can read capacitance  :'( I'll gladly take recommendations for a good DMM though!

You can buy a kit for a capacitance meter for only $8.99 here:

I have one of these and it works great.

Dale made lots of resistors, few caps.

8603 is probably a date-code.

"any" legs?

The part is over 20 years old, Dale has been eaten by Vishay, part numbers and package details changed.... but I think this is the current datasheet for the similar product:

Current value is around 12 cents.

oooops I meant "many".

Yeah, that seems to be it!  Thanks!
