In general, un-labeled might be bad news.

How do you know what the voltage and capacitance ratings are then?

How did they lose their label?

A little history? They may not HAVE a polarity (don't count it).

Backwards caps EXPLODE... really.

Send me a PM.

When I'm bored at my work, I get a 16 or 25V, 100uF cap and I connect it to the mains... when the 220v is free is more funny !


KABOOOOOOOOMMM !!

Everybody looks to me shocked hahahahaha, and I say "Ups !!", nobody there knows anything about eletronics :D :D
