Rubycon Photoflash Capacitors 120uF 330v

I've got a lot of these to go. Get them before they go to fleaBay, or in the bin. I have perhaps 1000, but I've not counted. If anybody wants a large number, or them all, I'll count them.







Weight about 8g. Energy when fully charged 6.5J.

The Rubycon spec gives these a lifetime of 5000 discharges into a 1ohm load. These caps are ex-equipment, from single use cameras. They are in clean undamaged condition, with plenty of lead length on them. Given the amount of film they are supplied with, these will have had at most 24 discharges.

These are ideal for coil guns, rails guns, disc launchers, oh and flash-guns as well. They are not low enough inductance for can-crushers, so don't bother trying that one. I use a number of these for smoothing current to my high voltage LEDs, and some in series blocks of 3 for 1000v for a high current direct to mains Cockcroft Walton multiplier. But I don't have enough projects for the rest.

Reasonable offers, even silly offers considered, plus postage. Will split.
