Electronic – Component identification (SMD)

componentsdiodesidentificationsurface-mount

Help me identify this component: test results identify it as a diode. I believe the manufacturer is Vishay, but I can't find anything when I search for it. There is a label placed on the component: ".1 J 50-".

enter image description here

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

My guess is its a 50V 0.1uF capacitor (not tantalum or electrolytic, since there are no polarization markings).

The J would denote 5% tolerance of the cap.

With no polarization markings it is not a diode or a polarized cap

I couldn't find a company marking or any other 'blue' capacitors, so I'm a little lost as to where this was sourced from.

Desolder the part from the board and measure it with a 'voltmeter' for impedance and do a capacitance test on it.
