film caps with nice long leads

lots of hits on google

New parts from distributors, not eBay, etc.

How long? Kemet RD series? And I think Murata too.

Cheers

I think all manufacturers offer them, but suppliers may not stock them. (How many do you need? ;-) )

Last few I'd seen:

- Some Rnn (Kemet, was Aerovox) series (not necessarily from DK/Mouser)

- Illinois' PPB (via Allied Electronics)

- Anything axial

Any other specs. We still use a lot of panasonic film caps... Though they are going EOL.

Same here, waiting for the next round to come thru.

Long leads are vital when the polymer melts at solder temperature; virtually any polypropylene capacitor has long leads. Has to, really.

Grin.. well except the ones they sell now. Search for poly prop on DK and tell me what you find.

Almost all are looking like this,

Would these work?

Grin.. well not for me so much. I need mostly low voltage and more C. (High Q filters and things like that.)

George H.

How much V, how much C?

Like this?

I like these by Illinois Capacitor from Antique Electronic Supply and have used them in several projets. Polypropylene with really long leads.

And look how cheap they are!
