I 'm trying to find a supplier for OS-CON caps but there seems to be nothing in N. America. Where have you guys been finding these caps? I was going to replace a few power supply caps in my DAC and the OS-CONS seem to be highly regarded by most, are the Panasonic FM/FK series comparable in performance? My bypass caps will be either WIMA or Vishay MKP's.
Oscons are "easy" to find... compared to "Oscon SVP" :S
I can't get my hands on some, they really are an improvement over traditionnal Oscons, not simply another package. If you want loooooooooooooooow ESR... And high max ripple current.... 🙂

Other manufacturers have similar poly electrolytic capacitors with similar performance to OSCON. DigiKey and Mouser carry the United Chemi-Con NPCAP series (PSC > PSA > PS and low ESL version PSL). They are good, I have used the PSA and PS caps with success. Nichicon has LE series, also carried at DigiKey. I haven't tried these ones.
Also check out Vishay/Sprague at Mouser.

OS-CON SVPs
I guess you are talking about this ones: http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/browse.jsp?N=500005+1000041&Ntk=gensearch_001&Ntt=svp&Ntx=
BTW the prices are... how can I say... huuuuuuuuuuuuh!

Thank you very much you all 🙂
Last time I checked farnell there were no more oscons in stock... I don't like farnell but if I have to go with them...
Will check Mouser for equivalent parts.

??? They have 1000's of most values of SVP and 100's of most values in SA, with much of the stock in the UK. Try searching for "Sanyo" and the series code.
Loooooooool!
(wasn't this topic in the dust of diyaudio?)
P.S: I made a topic about that. I was looking for Oscons equivalent and found Vishays that really looked the same, but more widely available. Now this is clear: they ARE the same.
NB: I tested Kemet A700 chip caps, and their Cornell Dubilier equivalent parts.
These come in a so handfull format that they make old Oscons look vintage! Plus they reflow insanely well.
ESR is lower and ripple higher than Sanyo/Vishay oscons, even the best ones. Price is unfortunately MAD (the Cornell Dubilier are more affordable), it can easily go to 6-7$ a cap. (well, this is the price for ELNA or black gate caps too...).
Not anyone needs low profile, it was just to tell 🙂
