Re: caps
Original poster: "Terry Fritz" <teslalist-at-qwest-dot-net>
Hi,
I picked up a few of these in my last DigiKey order. I have not done any
real testing on them but they sure are small... Probably too small to be
able to dissipate a lot of heat. They are also epoxy encased which further
holds heat in. The leads are also very thin.
Even though they are about 1/2 the cost of 0.15uF 2000 volts caps like the
Geek Group sells, I can tell right off that they are not comparable. If
one were careful to keep the current down they may work fine, but they are
certainly not any great leap of the art. Just smaller size and lower
current...
Cheers,
Terry
