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
This electrolytic capacitor is USED, Old but tested ...
It is IMPORTANT to read my information page about both new AND old stock electrolytic capacitors ... please go HERE
Back in the day, Siemens (Germany) was a manufacturer of very high quality components used in industrial, medical and military equipment. These capacitors are often still perfectly functional many years later, in fact this capacitor left the factory around 45+ years ago and remains a "goodie"
You can still purchase a range of "Siemens like" capacitors from the behemoth, Vishay but especially when restoring older equipment, there is nothing like replacing a component with an original item.
SIEMENS - Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitor (Al Elko)
Made in Austria
Series: B41588
Part # B41588-C4228-T
LL Grade
Value: 2200uF 16V
Temperature: -40°C ~ +105°C
Useful life 8000 hours
Termination: Axial leads
DIMENSIONS: 40mm L x 25mm Diameter (Yes, he's a fat boy!)
Yes, the leads are shorter than a new cap (this was PCB mounted) and measure 22mm length either side.
Clear external insulating sleeve
TESTING:
He's an "old boy" for sure so I made some basic tests of this capacitor ...
Capacitance: 2375uF
Vloss: 0.6%
ESR: 0.74R
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
CLEAN
Desoldered and the original mounting was through hole PCB, the lead lengths still remain of a suitable length for this type of mounting or just use it in point-to-point wiring.
NO physical damage to the body
This capacitor is now stored in a sealed clear plastic packet.
