was trying to locate some info on the net requarding an unknown capacitor. You all work with this stuff all the time so i figured i would ask.
The reason i want to know is to determine if its junk or if its worth something. anyway the only thing i have to go with is a description. its black. It is labled Sounder 10uf 100V NP 85 degee C I also have what look to be ceramic resisters. that are labled 5W 6Ohm J Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

thanks to the mod for placing this in the electonics and parts section.

To answer your question about the cap, I've never heard of a brand named Sounder before. Even so, a non brand name cap doesn't mean it's junk. Did you plan on using it for something specific? Those resistors you have are power resistors. They are called sand cast resistors.

The cap is a non-polar (NP) and might be used in a crossover, but if you only have one, I'm not sure what good it is. Nothing special. The resistors are also useful for crossovers. I use the "never throw away a part" philosophy, but you probably don't want your basement and garage to look like mine

thanks for the info guys.
right now the caps are part of a crossover. Just more found junk. hehe. I just didnt know what they were. if i ever did throw them away i just wanted to know i wasnt ditching say fifty dollar caps when they could be used by someone but since they are only worth about .50 cents then its no big deal. Sand cast resistors. Cool... thanks for the info. They are also a part of the crossover possibly connected to the multi-tap transformer somehow. gonna have to see if i can figure out the circuit board. who knows i might be able to put some of the stuff to use.

Can you post a pic?
If they have sand resistors, methinks you likely have electrolytic caps. |

With only 10uf there should be no need to use NP electrolytics .... but i do use sand resistors with good results, but maybe its time to try something else

I like to use wire wound resistors, air core inductors and poly caps for the series connections and sand resistors, iron core and elec's for the by-pass.
Not sure if there's any sense in that though. |

Hi Cal,
"Sand cast", or "bathtub" resistors as they were known as, are in fact wire wound. Whether the parts are in series, or in "bypass" makes no difference. They are all in the signal path. Hi tinitus, Quote:
