Wanted Wet Tantalum Capacitors

[paulcheeba]

I’d like to buy some 150v
1-2uf caps. No lower than 150v please. Thanks.

Where are you located?

 

[Jim50hertz]

How about these Paul?

Thank you both I am in the U.K.

That cap would never "see" more than 60V DC normally.

That must be why I can’t find them. Thanks David.

I will look upstairs later - down here it looks like I have a handful of like 250-270 volt 4-5 uf by my records. Nothing that small (1-2uf) downstairs. If I find anything upstairs I will let you know. Biz partner lives upstairs and is not awake yet.

>> I have just purchased over 50 aluminum electrolytic capacitors that have a -- 450V -- rating with no issues or problems in finding a source. So, I cannot imagine why you -- are/would be -- having trouble finding a 150V capacitor!!!

He want's wet tantalum capacitors. Different than Electrolytics.

I would be cautious with this statement. When you have a passive power supply the voltage there can be quite high before the tube starts to conduct...

If you want to use the mic without tube you are right

Because I don’t need a regular electrolytic I have thousands. Thanks for your wonderful wisdom.

Thanks for your wonderful wisdom.

>> Your comment here comes across to me as being "sarcastic and snarky"!!! As I am only trying to help you out, I can only hope that I am wrong about this.

In any case, will these work for you???

At one point-in-time, a wet tantalum cap was probably the only possible combination of low leakage and compactness. Today, electrolytic capacitor technology has improved so much, current products rival and even better tantalum caps. However, the choice is not vast.

One is not available for 6 months and the other is way overpriced and in America but thanks.

 

[paulcheeba]

Bump?

 

[OneRoomStudio]

A little bigger than you wanted (3uF), but might be your best bet: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2043601015...i8hhoLpAo4GD45DR1tZYgnQ1cg|tkp:Bk9SR5TX1tXIYw

Thanks for the suggestion’s everyone it seems they are impossible to get hold of.
