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-".
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.
