Title: Panasonic Snap-in capacitor end of life
Post by: mcandmar on November 18, 2014, 03:09:45 AM

I've only just discovered Panasonic announced end of life for there snap-in capacitor ranges, including the TS range as used in our amps.  Interested to know what you guys in BH are planning, are you switching to Nichicon's?

Mouser stocks are getting pretty low so i'm going to add a bunch to my next order to squirrel away.

Panasonic isn't selling them anymore, but the factories that produce the actual snap in capacitors are still open for business! 

I actually see one in particular that specs out so similarly to the one we use that it may well be made in the same building.

From what i can tell the production facility is Panasonics, i googled the address for the electrolytic capacitor division and had a look on google maps :)
