Capacitors

Capacitors are passive devices that are used in almost all electrical circuits for rectification, coupling and tuning. Also known as condensers, a capacitor is simply two electrical conductors separated by an insulating layer called a dielectric. The conductors are usually thin layers of aluminum foil, while the dielectric can be made up of many materials including paper, mylar, polypropylene, ceramic, mica, and even air. Electrolytic capacitors have a dielectric of aluminum oxide which is formed through the application of voltage after the capacitor is assembled. Characteristics of different capacitors are determined by not only the material used for the conductors and dielectric, but also by the thickness and physical spacing of the components.
C-FT-250 Capacitor - Solen, 250V, "Fast", Metalized Polypropylene

Starting at $4.75
C-MKT-D68-250 Capacitor - Vishay Roederstein, 250V, 0.68 µF, MKT1813, Axial Lead
High quality 0.68uF axial capacitor rated at 250V. This value is popular for cathode bypass capacitors in many vintage Marshall amps. The 8.5x26.5mm size works well for turret board builds of these classic amplifiers. These MKT1813 capacitors are produced by Vishay Roederstein, formerly known as ERO. These capacitors are made with metalized polyester film and sealed in epoxy resin. Suggested applications include blocking, bypassing, filtering, timing, coupling and decoupling, interference suppression in low voltage applications. Features
  • Plastic-wrapped, epoxy resin sealed, flame retardant encapsulation
  • Non polar
  • Tubular metalized polyester film construction
  • ±10% tolerance
  • Axial leads
  • Operational life greater than 300,000 hours (40 °C/0.5 UR)
