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.

This wonderful electrolytic capacitor is brand new, old stock.
It is IMPORTANT to read my information page about both new AND old stock electrolytic capacitors ... please go HERE
These are very good electrolytics, the EPCOS origins go back to the Siemens (Germany) days - at the time (and still are) one of the best electro's in this class but also the most expensive!
Siemens wanted to get out of the passive component business just before the end of the 20th Century and partnered with Matshushita initally and then with TDK (Japan). EPCOS was born from the partnership of Siemens and TDK. The part numbers can still be directly referenced back to the original Siemen component coding system.
These capacitors are intended for general industrial applications and 'better quality' audio equipment
