Paccom has a several page spread in my copy of the 1997 Electronics Engineer's Master guide - looks like a US company making things (caps and resistors) in Taiwan. I've got an old AT&T telephone system power supply (24V/8.5A) that's full of them. Most are 2200uf/85 degree types, with .08-.11 ohms ESR on my Sencore LC102. Date codes are 99 and 00, so they seem to be holding up. I'm using the power supply for low voltage lighting - it gets about 5 hours use a day.

I can't find anything on the 'net saying anything much about them, so YMMV. Now if I could only get those dang Chinese MIEC caps out of stuff....last one oozed real good - ate a plastic label on the circuit board and a small trace.

Cheers,
