A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores electrical energy in an electric field. The effect of a capacitor is known as capacitance.
Hello, I've recently buy some 5% MKP capacitors (very expensive : 0.46$) The serie is pretty bad and some of them are out of tolerance. Is it a common problem ?(view more)
Hello all, I'm sure this info must be on the forum already but I'm new and having a hard time navigating around to find things. I am doing my first stereo speaker build, I already have my ...(view more)
KEMET Corporation introduced its advanced U2J Class-I ceramic dielectric capacitors. This U2J surface mount platform offers more than twice the capacitance available in C0G/NP0. It also provides super...(view more)
hello would anyone know were I can purchase two Nippon Chemi-Con U32D 50v 68,000uf, capacitors. THANKS(view more)
Specifically, I need a 10/10/10uF (3 section) twist lock capacitor, all rated at 350V. It's replacing a 1" diameter twist lock cap in an Ampex 121 tape transport. I also need a 20@250/40@250/25@...(view more)
Hi, there is a lot of dicsussion on capacitors anyway, but i've a special question: Despite their bad reputation i've found tantalums in the audio signal path of comercial products from time to ...(view more)
We can't always afford polypropylene capacitors, much less Teflon (tm), so we often make do with electrolytics when we need those higher values. There's all sorts of caps out there with claims t...(view more)
I wanted to share with the rest of the DIY community my experience with these capacitors, as I believe they are fantastic bargains bettering IMHO a lot of the exotica out there, but costing 'pennies'....(view more)
I've had a bunch of these, NOS, in my parts drawer for years. I don't remember what brand, type etc they are. Anyone that knows?(view more)
Many buyers of passive components tend to think of these devices as very interchangeable or even “generic.” Unlike ICs, it’s relatively easy to find multiple manufacturers of components with roughly s...(view more)
