Source for 5pF and 300pF Wima caps?

Smooth240 · 24th April 2006, 04:48 PM

I have been having a hard time finding a 5pF and a 300pF Wima brand capacitor. Could anyone advise of a potential source? I am interested in 4 or more of each value.

I was able to find 100pf and a few other values through Welbourne Labs but I do not want to have to parallel or series if possible.

Why Wima?

Historically Wima were the most unreliable capacitor you could ever find - servicing valve equipment consisted of replacing every Wima capacitor before you started, and this would cure the vast majority of faults. If you didn't change them ALL, it would come back the following week with another one failed.

Presumably they don't have the same problems these days?, but personally I wouldn't touch them!.

For low values such as the ones you mention, you'll be better off with Styroflex or Mica than Wima MKP or MKS.

I was able to find some Silver Mica capacitors through Partsconnexion.com in the exact values I need. Thank you for you input.
