A little sourcing help

DaLarry · 29th August 2011, 06:15 PM

I'm having a tough time finding photo flash caps with the values I need. They need to be at least 750uf + / 360V +. I need 6 of them. I found 5 suitable ones on Well Gains website, but only five. Anyone have any ideas?

Mouser seems to have a few to choose from, if the link doesn't wok just browse through their parametric search to find them;

Mouser Electronics - Electronic Component Distributor Capacitors

Mouser was actually the first place I looked. I saw lots of electrolytic choices but very few photo flash choices. I'll look again. Thanx.

I didn't look for "photo flash", just voltage and capacitance. I don't usually see photo flash caps that high in capacitance, they are fairly large to be in a flash module.

I understand. They are hard to find but those are what are installed in the power supply of my GSI modded Dynaco ST-70. Hard to find and problematic to replace.

Little odd value there on the voltage, common voltages in that range are 350V, 385V and 400V and values 820uf and 1000uf

Any of those would work. Where can I find them? I should add that although I've done electronics kits/projects before, I'm not really an electronics geek, but that's what my electronics guru tells me I need. Thanx to all of you for your help.

Thanx! I see they are in the UK and their website is down. I'll send an email to the Irish email contact.

They have a US outlet too, just goole RS components USA
