Title: Metallized Polyester Film Caps
Post by: MrBump on August 18, 2008, 09:55:38 AM

Guys, does anyone know where I can get these from?  I'm building a pedal, and I've knackered one of the caps (the only one of which there is only ONE in the kit!!! :shock:)

Maplin only does ceramic caps in kits.  I've had a look online, and the best I can find so far is a Chinese company that will ship me 10000 units minumum... I think that's too much...

... actually, I think that Maplin DO supply these - I was looking at the packs, but they seem to sell them individually...

However, any other supplier info would be great.

I'm not sure if they have them (I'd be surprised if they don't,) but check out Banzaieffects.com.

Good call with banzaieffects.  That's just what I was after.

Cheers.

Maplins defo sell polyster caps, what value are you after?

In future if you order in bulk, checkout RS or Farnell here in the UK.

My local electronics shop also does mail order and are both cheap and quick to ship... http://www.esr.co.uk

Rapid Electronics are also very good and cheaper than Maplin. Free delivery on orders over £30.

Banzai have a good selection, however can be v-v-v-v-v-very slow.
