OK, Nick. You've got my attention.
And the source for such caps?
A local (Texas) WIMA distributor is quoting me 3 months!!!! for the FPK1s.
Seems they have to build them in Germany and ship them by boat...a very slow
boat.
So, I am definitely in the market and I don't mind spending Pounds as
opposed to Dollars either.

Hi All,
         just to offer some help to those of you in a quandry (ahhh the 
english language) over which caps to use for your mmc.  After looking at the

wima, philips and RS capacitors I've found the ones that I think are the
best 
value for the performance.  
These are the philips 376 high pulse series.  These have a dv/dt of 
10000V/µs, which makes them the highest pulse rated caps available for the 
price. The voltage rating is also the best for the price.  The 0.047µF 2kV 
units cost £0.333 (55c) each in 100+ quantities. Unlike the wima units the
ac 
rating does not seem to be disproportionate to the DC rating as the ratings 
increase - the 2kV units are rated at 650VAC.  
I'm using 300 of these in my big coil and actually running them at the 
datasheet ac rating.  Just thought I'd alert you guys to this capacitor as I

haven't seen anyone else using them.

Regards
Nick field
