RE: [TCML] 1,000uF 250V pulse cap needed

["Lau, Gary" <Gary.Lau@xxxxxx>]

250V seems like an unusually low voltage for a pulse cap, so it's unclear what application you have in mind, and exactly what the component requirements are.  Just saying that they need to "withstand pulses" is pretty vague.  How high is "up"?
