Re: Nice PC board for MMC capacitors



Original poster: "Gerald  Reynolds" <gerryreynolds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Harold,

Just wanted to mention that MPAQ Electronics sell the CDE 942C20P15K 0.15uf caps for $2.30 ea (28 caps to a bag) and they have a much higher peak current rating:

Ipeak = 432 amps
Irms   = 13.5 amps
dV/dt = 2879 volts per microsecond
ESL   = 32 nh
ESR   = 5 milli ohms
Dia     = 1.161 inch
Len    = 1.811 inch  (body only - not counting lead bending)
lead_dia  = 0.047 inch

Did you get any of the STK caps?  I was wondering if you did any destructo
tests on them.  Being a little smaller in diameter, and about the same
length and value, they would be great for a nice compact board.  As I'm
getting ready to build the MMC for a 4" 12/60 coil, I'd be very interested
in a PC board version.  I'm surprized Dan didn't beat you to it.
