radial box capacitors

[stormbringer]

I am looking for recommendations for 'Box' capacitors.

I have some .022uF 630V on hand that are marked with the Mallory "M" (M160) but are from Cornell Dubilier. The part number is CORNELL DUBILIER-160223J630E-F-CAPACITOR (http://www.cde.com/catalogs/160.pdf). These poly caps range from 2n2 nF to 10uF, so I can get all values I need.

There are also metalized polyprop caps from the same source: M171s: http://www.cde.com/catalogs/171.pdf
And ones by Wima....

Are these decent choices? What do you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance,
John

Those caps seem ok from a data sheet point of view. I would expect the polypropylene to sound a little brighter than the polyester. With the short leads mounting them on an eyelet board makes it a pain if you want / have to change them. But you have the same problem with a PCB.

thanks for your input, loudthud.

I've used the yellow Panasonics that Mouser sells....they sound good and work well. I've also used some surplus Wimas and they sound and work fine too, but I haven't tried new ones. The Panasonics have longer leads....

Longer leads would be great. Thanks for the tip!
