High quality axial-leaded electrolytic capacitors. These 021 ASM series capacitors are produced by Vishay BC, formerly known as Philips / BC. These capacitors have been produced for many years and can be found in a wide variety of music equipment ranging from vintage amps by Vox and Marshall to classic fuzz pedals such as the Fuzz Face and Tonebender. Suggested applications include general purpose use, industrial, automotive, audio-video, coupling, decoupling, smoothing, filtering, buffering, portable and mobile equipment. Features

• Long useful life: 2500 h to 8000 h at 85 °C
• Miniaturized, high CV-product per unit volume
• Charge and discharge proof
• Polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors, non-solid electrolyte
• Axial leads, cylindrical aluminum case, insulated with a blue sleeve

Mod® Electronics Oil Caps are high quality, hand-crafted capacitors that are the perfect choice for guitars, amplifiers, and all audio equipment. Each capacitor is impregnated with mineral oil for a void-free winding providing highly stable capacitance. The capacitor is hermetically sealed in an aluminum casing to ensure a long life. The detailed construction results in a precise capacitance with a tolerance of ±10%. Mod® Oil Caps also feature a red stripe to designate the outside foil. The 50V series are in smaller packages that are perfect for guitars, effects and more.

• Casing: Hermetically sealed aluminum
• Dielectric: Mineral oil
• Lead Diameter: 20AWG
• Termination Style: Axial
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Values: .001 μF - .047 μF
• Voltage Rating: 50V

New old stock radial capacitors from Siemens with 10mm lead spacing. These 0.1uF film capacitors are rated for 250V. The construction matches the style found in vintage equipment such as the MKIII and MKIV Tone Bender pedals.

New old stock radial capacitors from Philips with 10mm lead spacing. The KT-347 series capacitors feature the same lacquer coating as the Mullard / Philips mustard caps found in classic Marshall amps and many vintage pedals. These NOS caps feature a low-inductive wound cell of metal foil and a polyethylene terephthalate film.

New old stock radial capacitors from Siemens with 10mm lead spacing. These 0.22uF film capacitors are rated for 250V. The construction matches the style found in vintage equipment such as the MKIII and MKIV Tone Bender pedals.

High quality R82 Series box film capacitors from Kemet. These polyester film capacitors have 5mm lead spacing, a minimum voltage rating of 63VDC, and a tolerance of ±10% or better. The small size, high specifications, and radial mounting makes them an excellent choice for PCB builds of pedals, synthesizer, and other audio equipment. The R82 Series is constructed of metallized polyester film with radial leads of tinned wire. Radial leads are electrically welded to the contact metal layer on the ends of the capacitor winding. The capacitor is encapsulated with thermosetting resin in a box of material meeting the UL 94V–0 requirements.

• Voltage rating: 63 VDC Minimum
• Lead Spacing: 5 mm
• Capacitance tolerance: ±10% or better
• Operating temperature range of -55˚C to +105˚C
• RoHS compliance and lead-free terminations
• Self-healing

High quality axial capacitors rated at 400V. 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)

Flat 0.01uF (10nF) film capacitor rated for 250V. Made of metallized polypropylene film, this capacitor is a great choice for audio applications. The style of this yellow capacitor is similar in appearance to the flat rectangular Philips 341 output caps found in original Fuzz Face pedals.

Polyester Film Capacitor used in MOD® Pedal Kits. Rated at 0.047µF 50V. Tolerance: 10%. Operating temperature: -40 C to +85 C

Ceramic disc capacitors rated for up to 2kV, ± 10% tolerance.

Polyester film dielectric, aluminum foil electrode, copperply leads and epoxy resin coating in inductive type.
