Re: Warning Desasterous MMC failures, Rotton caps from Mouser.

[Megavolt121-at-xxxxxxx (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-xxxxxxxxxx>)]

Garry, all
    Has anyone else used these mouser caps and experienced the same problem? 
You have to remember that we are pushing these caps to their limits in our 
Tesla Coils. Most of the time these caps won't be pushed remotely this far. 
It might not be the caps that are bad, but just the way we use them. Like 
Terry stated earlier, we wouldn't want word to get out that if companies sell 
us caps that aren't the best we'll chew them out since MMCs aren't the 
easiest things to come by.(At least not the really good ones.)

 Yeah, I was actually thinking along the lines of letting them know the batch
 was bad. I'd never sue over it because too many people are too fast to sue
 and I wouldn't reverse the charges because I really don't know for sure if
 it is the caps or just because I should have known the outer shell was too
 thin. The first one that blew should have given me a clue.
