WTB - power supply caps

[cowanrg]

i need to buy enough power supply caps for around 100KuF capacitance for 6 individual channels...

i would prefer around 10KuF - 30KuF each cap. so, i need a total of 600KuF for all the amps.

Did you try http://www.apexjr.com/new.htm? They have about 5,000 pieces of Phillip 26,000uf/75V cap in stock and cheap. You did not say which amp, so I assume 75V is good enough.

 

[cowanrg]

awesome, that seems like exactly what i need.

yeah, sorry, building 6 channels of aleph 2. so, 75V should be more than enough. good price too. if anyone else has any other options i would be interested, but this sounds great so far.

26,000uf 75V Caps

Fcel......
Thanks for the plug. wish I did buy 5000 of them
but this buy was only 840 and have sold about
300 of them so far: a lot thru this forum.
Thanks Guys

That should leave enough for another 60 monoblocks of Aleph 2!! I hope Nelson Pass is not reading this!

I have 40 11,000 mfd 80vdc caps, never used.

Interested

Reply for Apex Jr.

I've been trawling the web without much success for spec's on those 26000uF Philips caps that you're selling . Have you any details on ripple current, ESR, and the like. Are they equivalent to the BC Components 3186's (except for not having screw terminals), as I understand that Philips have now bought BC.

Can you post these details either here or to my own e-mail address as I'm quite interested in buying several.

Thanks.

P.S. You've already given me a quote on sending 12 to the UK, I may well increase that to 16 if the specs are good enough.

Cap Spec's

Hi.......
I've had several requests for this data and I don't have
a Phillips book to give me any information. Nor can I find
any information on the web either, however I can tell
you I have sold a lot thru this forum and so far no problems.
Sorry,

Steve

I have the datasheet on the 3186 series somewhere - I'll look around and post it if I can find it.

Steve - if i can find a copy, would you like me to fax it to you?

 

[Apex Jr]

ABSOLUTELY

The Key on the spec sheet are the letters in the
part number. The 3186 is only a series the rest
tells you the information needed.
Complete part number
3186EE263UO75HPA2

We know the 263 = 26 and 3 zero's 26,000uf
75 = 75 volts
one letter states leads instead of screw terminals

My fax number is 818 248-0490

Thanks for the offer

Philips 3186 Capacitor series datasheet (1.4mb)


There y'are, guys.

Steve - I'm having some problems with my fax machine, so I won't be able to fax it on over - sorry about that.

You can download it, post it on your website, and send it to anyone you like, though.

Regards,

Thanks

Cheers Thingyness & Steve for the info.

As far as I can tell from the spec. sheet, the 26kuF @ 75V has a ripple current of at least 8.3A (Couldn't see an exact match for Steve's devices).

My plan is to have a pi-filter PSU for my Aleph 5 of 2*26kuF-2mH-2*26kuF for each voltage rail, similar to the figures suggested by NP at this thread:

http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6110

Using NP's RoT, this suggests that the first cap. on each voltage rail should see 2.5A (*3=7.5, I even have some margin. Wow!). Am I overlooking anything basic here, as I'm not overkeen on NP's exploding capacitor approach!?!

P.S. Transformers are 2*ILP 28-0-28 500VA.
