Re: RF caps for MMC construction

BTW, Richardson Electronics has listed a bunch of Cornell-Dubilier caps
rated 1600 or 2000Vdc with capacitance of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0uF.  Anybody
know if any of these are definitely worthwhile (i.e. won't go up in
smoke), or definitely not?  They don't list prices (except for the
940's, and some lesser 940's are known to be bad for Tesla MMC use).
