Which capacitor?

simple simon · 16th July 2010, 04:25 PM

I get a good deal through work with RSwww and I want to buy come capacitors for some solid sate and chip amplifiers, but I am confused by choice. For example the following list comes up for 10uF capacitors 50-63v. Which would be the best for audio? The first bit is a short description and the longer alpha-numeric number a bit later is the manufacturers part number.

Many thanks.

The FC are very decent caps.

In 10 uf 63 v I don't buy electrolytic caps anymore, I buy film dielectric. Lasts a lot longer and you don't have to worry about eliminating negative voltage. I put a bunch of polyester and polystyene caps in my organ last year. You can see the size if you click the link to the manufacturer's website on the order page.

I would tend to go for the cheapest.
RS components are a good source so what ever you buy wont be rubbish.

Pull up the data sheets for each particular series ie NHG , FC , etc
Some caps spec ESR out to 100KHz and 105*C . Look at case size and voltage rating for the actual #'s. Those are the good ones ie traceable specs and long life MTBF.

I use the Panasonic NHG series caps, but any from that list apart from low-ESR ones will be fine.
