About cbb22 105j400v capacitors

Hello

I have few cbb22 105j400v capacitor, some web site say that they are polypropylene film capacitors, others say that they are polyester film capacitors. I don't know who made them.

Anybody know if they are polypropylene or polyester film capacitors and who made them ?

I include a photo of my capacitors.

Thank

Bye

http://www.livingston.com.tw/capacitors/pdf/25%20MPF.pdf says CBB22 is metallized polypropylene. 105 = 1uF, J means 5% tolerance, 400V is self-explanatory, red colour means flame-retardent.


Replace with PP version anyway, superior to PE.

Addendum question regarding lower voltage PP caps:

Metallized Polypropylene Film Capacitor ROHS 1uF 100V J (F 7.5mm) 50PCS | eBay

Kinda driving me to distraction.

I'm about to upgrade an ADCOM GFA-555 II amp, power supply, matched input transistors, Nichicon FG electrolytics, and, while I'm at it, I figured what the heck replace the PE caps with PP.

Where to find source for 1 uF/100v and 1 uF/50V PP caps?

I've exhausted mouser, digikey, allied, several other sites' search engines and can only find these caps in places like eBay from Taiwan.

Any US suppliers? I only need a handful (1uF for 545 amps), a dozen of the 1/50 size for the 555 amps (got two, will see what/if any difference in performance side by side).

Thanks in advance.
