1000 volt rated Silver Micas - Where? - Videokarma.org TV - Video

M3-SRT8 · #1 02-17-2009, 02:29 PM

I'd like to buy a kit containing 1000 volt silver micas. Most of the ones available are 500 volt dipped epoxy, but,I have a bunch of 270 pF 1000 volt micas in my 630TS, plus an 82 pF 1000 volt one. The rest are not rated, so I'm assumig 500 volt are fine. I know where to get those.

Digikey sells 1000 volt tubular micas, but only in huge quantities.

Where to get this stuff?

Just Radios has quite a nice selection of caps and now resistors as well.

I see 250pf 1000v Silver Micas, but I don't see any 270pf.

You could e-mail Dave and ask him about them. He's a great guy, his prices are very reasonable, and he ships very fast.

Try Mouser, they have a huge selection of caps, somewhat hard to find in their online catalog though.

Excellent! Thanks.

I placed orders from Tedss.com and Just Radios for Silver Micas, at the same time. Tedss.com's transaction went off much smoother, and, I've just received the order today! Just Radios has probably just shipped my order today. I say "probably" because I have no idea. No confirmation of shipment, no tracking, etc.

Tedss.com is the fastest vendor I have ever done business with. I consider their "competition" dead and buried.

That's a little harsh. Please don't write off Dave at JustRadios. He's a good guy and a generous supporter of our hobby activities. Also one of the few good sources for HV caps for electrostatic sets. My orders always arrive pretty quickly.

I like dealing with Dave; you have to allow extra time since he is in Canada.

John Folsom · #9 02-20-2009, 11:50 AM

I agree with the positive comments about Justradios. An his website has one of the easiest to use methods for compiling an order.

I guess I need to add support for Just Radios also. They have a nice FAQ on safety capacitors that was very helpful to me. I wouldn't have known about them except for that.

Hey....they're slow.

...and, No Order Tracking. I haven't a clue when it will arrive.

Outside of that, I have nothing against them.

But, it would be nice to know WHEN.

Maybe I'm being a little harsh.

I'll give him another shot. Probably buy a couple of his resistor and cap kits. I've bought 'em in the past.

I've always received an E-Mail from Dave telling me he received my order.

As for Tracking I'm not sure that's even available when shipping from Canada.

Always order from Dave, never any problem. E-Mail, fast shipping and best of all selection and price. He has even been known to throw in freebees.
