Sourcing polyester 600V film foil caps.

Post by utervo »

It seems many of the caps people have been using are obsolete or not stocked anymore. Can't find 6PS or 225P or PVC with high voltage and all values. Infact rarely any polyester film foil caps seem to be around anymore.

One that seems possible to use is CDE WMF series, which is quite expensive. Anyone tried?

What are you now using of currently made polyester film foil caps?

These will go to blackface builds.

Film foil's don't seem to be in the sizes 0.1uf, 0.022uf and 0.047uf.

Thanks all, a bit of a brain fade on my behalf.

Ordered those. Some were a bit different, I don't know how they rate those but took 0.5uF instead of 0.47uf and 0.0012uF instead of 0.001uF for PI, probably won't make a difference.
