Trying to source Sanyo OS-CONS, no luck so far

S.Spielbergo · 10th August 2008, 12:48 PM

I 'm trying to find a supplier for OS-CON caps but there seems to be nothing in N. America. Where have you guys been finding these caps? I was going to replace a few power supply caps in my DAC and the OS-CONS seem to be highly regarded by most, are the Panasonic FM/FK series comparable in performance? My bypass caps will be either WIMA or Vishay MKP's.

Oscons are "easy" to find... compared to "Oscon SVP" :S
I can't get my hands on some, they really are an improvement over traditionnal Oscons, not simply another package. If you want loooooooooooooooow ESR... And high max ripple current....

Other manufacturers have similar poly electrolytic capacitors with similar performance to OSCON. DigiKey and Mouser carry the United Chemi-Con NPCAP series (PSC > PSA > PS and low ESL version PSL). They are good, I have used the PSA and PS caps with success. Nichicon has LE series, also carried at DigiKey. I haven't tried these ones.

Also check out Vishay/Sprague at Mouser.

Thank you very much you all

Last time I checked farnell there were no more oscons in stock... I don't like farnell but if I have to go with them...

Will check Mouser for equivalent parts.

Parts Connexion has a few clear out values listed under electrolytic caps.
