Hi,

I am beginning the Calrec project, thanks again Jakob for this one :)

...but I have a hard time to find the good capacitors
(proper values with 63V voltage and with RM 7.5-10mm)

For the 100n/63V with 5mm pitch, no problem,
I could use Wima MKS2 0.1UF +/-10% 63V, pitch 5mm
(available at farnell for example)

I can't find all other caps with 7.5 or 10mm pitch,
I went to Wima site and see that FKP3 may be a
good match but I did not find any reseller for them :(

I have searched on the net for a long time but in each
case I was close to find a capacitor, something does not
match, like it has good value, good voltage but pitch too
short (5mm) or pitch is good (10mm) but voltage too high
(630V)

So if some DYIers who have built the calrec remember
where they have bought the capacitors, please post
your seller links :) (and maybe capacitor types)

Thank you for your time! I am sorry for this newbish
question, but I feel lost with this capacitors choice

P.S.: i think i used MKS4[/quote]

I see them on the Wima site, I have overlooked them
because it states "For general DC-applications e.g.By-pass..."

But they are available from conrad.fr so I may test them
in a first step. Thank you :)
 
I need to bump this thread because I am having a heck of a time finding the polyester caps. Someone PLEASE let me know where I can get the correct caps or comment on which ones I can use. A thousand thanks.

cap voltage can be the same or higher (e.g. instead of 63v get 100v), i sourced most of my caps from banzai effects.
also some of the cap legs needed to be bent to fit the pcb.
