No Dude,

Quite the opposite. There is no free thought in a society that is drugged. What ever your on get help and get off it.

Finally..

Hi,

Nigel,
I know what Wima cap you mean, the axial one dipped in black.
Capacitor was very common in old tube amps and radios.
Terrible cap, if present you'd better replace them all as they would all fail sooner or later.
I have been looking for a picture on the net of the cap in question, no success so far.
It would be nice if someone could post a pic of the cap in question.

Hi,

Just recently almost two years later I stumbled over the dreadful black Wima cap.
Anyone recognize these? 🙂

Dear all,
those caps are mylar type, not exactly the best.
Try polypropylene MKP or PPS, the latter are the best
in the absence of polycarbonate ones:

I have need for a pair of these small >=10uF caps matched (10uF/16V for example). Perhaps someone (Jack?) can help? Otherwise, I'll have to buy 10 or so from Mouser 😡

 

[mikesnowdon]

MKS2 and its higher capacitance MKKS2-XL brothers are polyester. Only marginally bettered by polypropylene but try finding 3.3 -> 22uF polyprop caps with radial 5mm pitch leads.....

Polyester is perfectly fine for my purposes.

Please dot pass on wrong information. This is a very very important cause with a 100% genuine cause to rid the world of drugs and the harmful effect they have on society as a whole. The site is 100% official and totally legit, contains no viruses and will cause no harm to any computer on which it is viewed.

Think, what kind of world would you want your kids to grow up in? This one? Or maybe a better one where kids aren't forced to take Ritalin and Heroin addicts aren't breaking into your house to steal your Hi-Fi. I know this world is far from perfect and given the choice and power to change it Im sure I'm not alone in my desire to do something about it. For now all I can do is support positive causes like this and spread the world by having a simple link in my DIYA sig. It is the very small minority who support drugs. A minority who have to justify what they are doing.

EDIT: Please could you post a link whee I can download this 'World of Trust' plug-in. Thanks 🙂

Yawn.

Discontinued!

I am shocked to read today that these caps are discontinued. I've used them a lot, you could call them the backbone of my decoupling needs.

Any idea of another compact foil capacitor to replace them, in future?

!? Evox Rifa MMK ?!

Thanks, but did I mention "compact"? ;-)
Those are many times bigger, the MKS2-XL were e.g. sooo useful to replace the 10 uF electrolytics commonly found.

Are there any "advanced" electrolytics, perhaps?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

That bag looks like the ones I get when I request for free samples! 😀

this one is pretty dimunitive:

Those are awesome, Jack.

I'm getting audio wood just looking at them..

oh oh. reading the last page now....discontinued?

Do they have a replacement line in the up-and-coming mix?

oh. They are polyester. And thus endedth the wood.

Bummer.

Hi all, I got hold of the very last batch of 22 uF 16V of these series. They were discontinued months ago because of shortage of raw materials used in these caps.

As a bonus I am charged a ridiculous fee for administration costs. If you are interested please send me a PM. They will be 6,50 Euro/piece ex shipping. These are the smallest real capacitors in 5 mm pitch worldwide. Pricey but worth the money (BG was so too).

I understand the "they're polyester" comment but they do sound very good, better than any electrolytic cap any way (except for BG N/NX). I have used the 4.7 and 10 uF for quite some time now and I like them a lot. An ideal replacement for electrolytic caps in nearly the same form factor.
