Are these Gold Tune caps fake?

fishball79 · 3rd April 2010, 07:26 AM

I bought these years ago and recently found where I have stored them. I took them out and read up on their specs online and found the dimensions don't match.

They don't look like these posted for sale here nor do their dimensions match the pdf.

Here's a picture.

They measure 30mm (OD) by 70mm (Length) and are rated 10000uf 63v. Other markings are NO134.

Can anyone shed light on this?

There are lots of counterfeit caps out there, even relatively cheaper Epcos caps as well.
