OT in search for a very BIG capacitor...

toneless · March 14, 2007, 02:06:40 PM

Hi.
Sorry for the out topic.

I need to find some 30.000mF /25V capacitors.

If anyone can help with a link I'll be glad.

Cheers

you mean "mili"-farad, right? That being 30F. Or do you mean "micro"-farad?

toneless · March 14, 2007, 02:15:27 PM

Nope I mean micro farads...

I don't need them for any stombox though.

Can you help?

47.000µF/40V should be available at various suppliers, but they aren't cheap!

toneless · March 14, 2007, 02:29:35 PM

Ok. Thanks for the replys.

I'll do a little more search now.
They are quite expensive and bigger than the place I have to stick them.

I wonder if there is a simpler method. I'm going to use them as some kind of "regulation".

Anyway thanks

Whoops, I thought you wanted a 30,000uF cap not a 30.000. My bad.

Thomas P. · March 14, 2007, 02:36:13 PM

maybe 3 10,000µF would be cheaper.

But do you really need that much?

TELEFUNKON · March 14, 2007, 02:46:45 PM

paralel caps add.

toneless · March 14, 2007, 03:01:59 PM

Yep, but space is of concern. Thank you all for the info.

I have a couple of 10.000uF 400V on my desk...

THEY are pretty big! (and damn cool!

)

anyway, I saw they have some 22.000uF 25V on www.banzaieffects.com, around 5 euro each.
could it be enough?

i saw a 1 farad capacitor the other day in my Altronics (australia, very good store). Masssssive!

Please be careful.

Man....those are huge! I thought the four 7800mF 50V's I had were big....you planning on making a big bug zapper?

WGTP · March 15, 2007, 09:53:33 AM

Might checkout starter capacitors for various electronic motors.

Please be careful.

The techy guys at my work built a spot welder out of one of those.

Toneless,
I have 3 63vdc 12,000 uf caps sitting in front of me. They measure 1 3/8" diameter X 2" Height.

If you want them email me and give me an address to mail them to you.

Peace!
Arn C.
