Reknown 1862 series ERO MKC capacitors, removed from some excellent German audio equipment
BACKGROUND:
Sustainability is the name of the game! Anything (that has been tested and still functioning properly) should be repurposed creating saving in wasted Ee and reducing the poisoning our environment when items are buried in the earth at the local tip needlessly.
Never heard of Ee? It is a concept that creates a measurement of ALL things (not just electronics) that humans have made and the energy used in obtaining the raw material, processing the materials right through to a finished product and even should include the shipping of the item to the distributors/retailers.
If you would like to know more about Ee values, please take a look HERE
These MKC capacitors are USED but have been tested
These MKC1862 series capacitors are reknown for their balanced, neutral sound when used in audio circuits plus the usual characteristic of a MKC capacitor such as excellent stability.
ERO/Roderstein (Germany) has been around for what seems like the dawn of time, German manufacturers of high quality capacitors and other passives but now a subsidiary of the behemoth, Vishay
ERO/RODERSTEIN - MKC Capacitor (1)
Made in Germany
MKT 1862 Series
Package markings on the top of the cap only (all printed in Black)
Value: 15uF 63V
NON-polarised
Full technical datasheet is available HERE

4mm??? these are "pulls", lifted off the PCB but not shortened further.
Individually packed into sealed clear plastic packets
TESTING:
Basic tests made of the available capacitors ...
1: 15.21uF
Vloss = 0.1%
ESR=0.78 R
2: 16.15uF
Vloss = 0.0%
ESR = 0.79 R
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED Tested
The shortened leads are clean and shiny
NO damage to the epoxy body
This is NOT an ongoing supply, once stock is exhausted there will be no further supply
*** Where the photograph shows multiple capacitors, this advertisement price is for ONE capacitor only - not everything that is shown ***
