These coupling caps, reddish brown chicklet looking ones were recommended in this forum a couple of years ago. I bought a bunch and I quite liked them. However, I cannot find where I bought them nor the post. Anyone help? I know I got them from China. Some .01's, .022's, and .047's.
I bought some of these recently and like them. And check out some of the similar sponsored items below in the auction.

Have you considered using a normal supplier?
Don't buy standard components from e-bay, China, AliBaba, or AliExpress. You don't know what you're getting

Digikey and Mouser distribute them and you know you get genuine parts.

I see no problem with Chinese capacitors and other components, they are manufactured in hundreds of millions, if not billions in China anyway. What is the difference between CBB caps from Panasonic, Cornell Dubilier, and let's say Shenzhen Zhenbangwei Technology? Technically speaking, none at all. Its quite possible that last mentioned Chinese company makes these, and may be a handful of other brands.
I find lots of problems.
- Inferior quality.
- Counterfeiting.
- Non-enforceable contracts and warranties.
We buy a lot of stuff from China, from electronic/mechanical components to industrial machinery, sometimes measured by container qty. I can't say I'm was impressed by the quality of whatever, yet (in some degree) it was in a pair with an affordable price. IMHO I don't think anyone is going to counterfeit anything made for example by Shenzhen Zhenbangwei Technology or DongGuan WeiQing Electronics. Going back to subject, I had no problems with film and silver mica capacitors from China.
We are taking about about electronic components, and it is a well known fact that counterfeiting and quality problems are rife.
Nichicon QXP and Panasonic ECW are my go-to caps in that style.
