Oh Dear! This item has been sold but take a look around for other similar items

HISTORY:

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 electronic component is BRAND NEW, old stock

 

CRL were a research and development company that manufactured the highest quality capacitors possible, for the day. They spent a lot of effort working on developing ceramic capacitors especially but also produced some very nice polystyrene caps. As happens in the business world, CRL was purchased by Philips (1981) then BCcomponents and now Vishay owns the name and intellectual property rights.
