WIMA caps

[xXBrunoXx]

Hi, Anyone know what type of wima caps are these? ( 5% on the back ) Can I use them in audio , active crossover? . What about these generic yellow ones?
Also i found these unbranded , they are old .
Thank you.

Its not so important caps low capacitance, low voltage (63V). The best Wima caps for audio are MKP10 as attached image.

@demiurge30 They are a bit expensive, around 3.7 USD a piece where I live. I need x12 so around 40USD for caps is a bit to much for me.

Yes, you can use those capacitor. I see no problem.

@NanoFarad Okay, Thank you .

Those look like a polyester cap, not necessarily any better than another part with the same construction.
As for any of them being the best, it really depends on the application…

WIMA recommendations:

100 pF to 0.01 μF	FKP 02 (2.5 mm)
33 pF to 0.033μF	FKP 2 (5 mm)
100 pF to 0.22 μF	FKP 3(7.5 ,10,15 mm)
0.01 μF to 1 μF	MKP 2 (3-11 mm)
1000 pF to 47 μF	MKP 10 (10-42 mm)
