If so, can I ask a favour? I'd like to get a couple of ECQ-P(Z) caps - to make a Corda Crossfeed filter - but the delivery charge to the UK is silly; £12 on an order of less than £5.
So if some kind US DIYer would add these caps to their order, and then bung them in a little padded envelope and ship it by standard airmail to me, I would be very grateful! I will obviously pay full costs by PayPal.

The caps I want are
3 x P3828-ND (0.0015uf)
2 x P3864-ND (0.047uf)
3 x P3872-ND (0.1uf) (I know that's more than I need - 1 spare of each!)

Alternatively, does anyone know where I can get these caps in the UK?
Further alternatively: are there any other caps that would do the job as well? Somehow I've always supposed that the Panasonic ECQ-P(Z) were the best for this kind of job - I think I got that from Tangents site - but perhaps I'm wrong!

If you want anything from Mouser, drop me a pm. I'm making a order tonight.

 

[onocentaur]

I don't think Mouser stock the Panasonic caps...
thanks anyway

They do stock the Wima MKP series though, which should be at least as good and many prefer it. It should be available in the values you need.

 

[onocentaur]

Ah... interesting. many thanks.

I will have missed JamesLs order now but I can check availability elsewhere for those.

 

[JamesL]

Heh.. Actually, I haven't ordered yet.
I might grab some mkp's too for my ppa bassboost.

I'm not exactly sure how to evaluate the specs between the mkp4, mkp10, and mkp2.. each line of capacitor carries the values and dimensions I need. Any insight?

 

[onocentaur]

Well, it's quite beyond me. I'll think I'll stick the Panasonic ones, at least I know which ones to get!

MKP2 are small values polypropylene metalized film caps with 5mm pitch, can be very helpfull when small parts are desired, often used as (de)coupling caps.

MKP4 and MKP10 are polypropylene metalized film caps but also available in larger values with larger pitch (7.5mm - 37.5mm).
Theoretically, MKP10 is faster than MKP4 (comparing maximum pulse rise time V/µsec).
Both types can be used in audio applications however MKP10 is prefered, especially when it's direct in the signal path.

Just like James L, I am making an order from mouser on monday/tuesday, im in the UK aswell so that would save paying airmail twice

let me know.
