Original poster: "huil888" <huil888@xxxxxxxxxxxx> DC -Was the packaging for your C-D caps marked "China", or "Taiwan"?. Different countries, of course. If
they were marked as manufactured in China, what Cornell-Dubilier part number were they?All the recent (RoHS compliant) 942 series I have received were marked "Made in Taiwan".

Original poster: "resonance" <resonance@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Actually the Cornell-Dubilier brand is also mfg in China. The boxes we get are labeled China. Dr. ResonanceThey looked intriguing initially, but look at the small physical size as compared to "good" caps that we use. It's doubtful that these would be suitable for anything beyond a small mini-coil. And since the uF values are rather on the high side, you can't use many parallel strings to reduce the current per device. But like most things, it's very possible that Chinese imports may one day soon be competitive with conventional sources, so it's good to keep an eye there! Regards, Gary Lau MA, USA
