Black gate 220uf NP 35/50v

lanchile · 8th April 2009, 03:38 AM

Hello,I have been looking for Black gates 220uf NP 35/50v all over the net but, no luck. Do you know where I can get these caps or a substitution for a Black Gate capacitor (quality).I need better quality than just regular electrolytic NP capacitors.thank you

Black Gates were not available in that rating, the 220uF were only NX at 6.3V

The closest would be N 100/50 or NX 680/35. Percy still carries the latter one.

Hi Peter! Well what should I replace these 220uf NP 35v caps with?. should I use two 100uf NP Black Gates in parallel?.Thank you.

I hear Elnas are good too but, I have used Black Gates capacitors with an excellent results and I am very happy with Black Gates. I know they are expensive but, they are worthy!.

BG N 100/50 are not available any longer.

There is no substitute for Black Gate N type, thse closest is probably Panasonic FC.

Well,I have not found any Panasonic Fc 220uf NP or Elna cerafine NP. this is not so common value or what?.Percy has Black gate 220uf NP but in 160v and I think is really big since it is not solder legs,it is "snap"in cap.

as you can see I do not have so much room on the board.it is the "yellow ones one in each board"

picture #2. I will change those two 220uf NP caps to upgrade the amp.
Now I have three amps,I have one for sale here but,I do not know where it went lol.

I found it.this is the one for sale.I am trying to get the money to get the pre-amp for my Bryston amp.

You can use regular electrolytics as well in place of NP

Hello Peter! I am not sure if I should use a "POLARISED" cap instead of the "NON-POLARIZED" cap. Here is the schematic,check capacitor #7 it is 220uf 25v NP. and if I "can" use the polarized cap,should I put the negative line to the ground?
