Before it's put on a slow boat from China

amdx · 2015-09-22T16:41:58+00:00

I need a 2.7uf 63V non-polarized capacitor for a speaker crossover. It is a radial lead 10mm x 22mm cap. Ebay has them from China. (slow boat) I've checked Digi-Key, Mouser, Allied, and Newark. I've also checked several speaker part sellers. I have found an axial lead cap, for $0.50 plus $6.95 shipping. But I'd prefer a radial lead. Have any other sources? Refoamed a set of Pioneer HPM 700 speakers, also put two OEM tweeters in them. I thought I was done, listening test showed no output from one tweeter, found bulging cap in crossover. Argh! Mike

The Rubycon looks like it was salvaged from a discarded board.

That's what they want you to think.

Look more closely at the logo. It's "Rulycon", a fake designed to look like Rubycon.

These came out about the same time as the "bad caps" scandal a few years ago.
