Title: output film caps from Vishay, Wima and Eaton
Post by: mete on June 19, 2024, 09:23:37 PM

Has anyone used Vishay MKT1820 100uF/160V (particularly the compact version), Wima DC-Link MKP4 100uF/400V or Eaton EFDKS (or EFDKA) 80uF/450V ? These are the most compact rectangular industrial caps I found on digikey and mouser. Eaton is considerably cheaper at ~10 USD whereas Wima is ~20 USD and Vishay is ~30 USD.

Sorry, I can't help with those. In some other thread, Doc recommended using Audyn Q4's as being value matched with the Crack, so that's what I used. I've be happy with them.

I have used the black Panasonic film caps with good success.  The box type caps sure are convenient to just glue down to the chassis.

Concur on the Panasonic's. Really good IMO.
