I need capacitors!
ShawnHV, Tue Mar 21 2006, 03:30PMI have been asked by my school to build a tesla coil for the electronics systems classroom, and one of the few parts that I still need is Capacitors. I need 12 of the 940C20P15K, but the school cannot putchase them unless the company accepts a purchase order. There are places to order large quantities, but that would be a waste of the school's money. If anyone knows a place to get these caps at a decent price, or somewhere that would donate them, please leave me a message.
Thanks,
Shawn Landsberger

I've used the G.E. 42L capacitors from alliedelec.com without problems. They aren't too expensive. A warning about these caps, though: You HAVE to use multiple strings in parallel or the peak currents will blow the caps up like popcorn! In parallel I have had no problems whatsoever. Good luck

I picked up some Panasonic Caps, ECWH16473JV, rated 0.047 uF, 1600VDC, 5%
I did some research and I found a list of good and bad caps. A similar panasonic cap was listed as good.
I think he still has some more...
