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 antiquity from PLESSEY is NEW, old (very) workshop stock
PLESSEY - Polypropylene Capacitor (1)
I suspect this was Australian manufactured but not 100% on that
Type: Metal foil polypropylene
Value: 3300pF
Voltage: 1000V DC
Tolerance: 10%
Temperature co-efficient 1.52%
Radial leads
Printed on the body is:
PLESSEY
3300/10
1.52 %T
1000V -
DIMENSIONS:
BODY: 15.9mm Length x 6.5mm Diameter
LEADS: 40mm Length x .55mm Diameter
TESTING:
I have tested EVERY capacitor, measurements were:
3269pF
3619pF
3646pF
3742pF
As can be seen, the majority are reading on the high side of the designated value and right at the maximum values allowing for tolerances.
COSMETIC CONDITION:
NEW Old Stock (actually very old)
CLEAN
NO physical damage
Light/slight dullness to the leads due to oxidisation but these remain perfectly serviceable
Now Stored in a sealed plastic packet, awaiting a "purpose in life"
*** Where the photograph shows multiple components, this advertisement price is for ONE capacitor only - not all that are shown! ***
