Reknown 1813 series ERO MKT 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 MKT capacitors are USED but have been tested
These MKT 1813 series capacitors are highly regarded in audio equipment, being used in filtering, timing, coupling and decoupling functions including cross-over networks.
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 - MKT Capacitor (1)
Made in Germany
MKT 1813 Series
Value: 3.3uF 100V DC
Tolerance: 10%
Full technical datasheet is available HERE
Termination: Radial leads
Dimensions: 25.3mm length x 9.3mm diameter
Lead length 9mm x 0.7mm diameter tinned wire
9mm??? this cap is a "pull", lifted off the PCB but not shortened further, still suitable for PCB mounting or point-to-point wiring.
Individually packed into a sealed clear plastic packet
TESTING:
Basic measurements made of this capacitor ...
3.4uF
Vloss = 0.0%
ESR = 0.8
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
