WTB: Inexpensive Polypropylene Axial Capacitors

Filburt · 3rd May 2008, 06:04 AM

Needed values: 0.1uF, 0.022uF, 0.015uF, 3900pF. I'm looking more specifically for the sort that often are white or yellow tubular shaped, and I need them to be fairly compact and they don't need to be particularly high voltage rated since they're just sitting in filter stuff. I'm having trouble finding this kind of cap, though, other than expensive audiophile stuff that I don't have the money to shell out for.

a shitload of different caps. Not that small in size but quite inexpencive (according to me atleast). Not PP but probably at least as good.

Did you check Digikey? They have Panasonic P series, radial style, but good price and not bad sound. They also have metallized poly that are smaller, buy I liked the sound of the poly film better.

cygnus - Thanks for the suggestion on the Panasonic. I just picked up some ECQ-P 630V (in this case, larger would fit better) to use. I could probably have fit the 50V, but it seemed like Panasonic was indicating the higher voltage caps were higher performance overall.
