Hundreds of hobbyists all over the world have used these capacitors to build the Angela Model 91 and J.E. Labs amplifier projects published on the "HOW TO..." section of this web site. The company that makes these caps for us also supplies metalized polypropylene types to other notable High End audio companies, including Conrad-Johnson. We (meaning, me and my friend Tony Ellis...) first noticed these caps in some interesting amplifier projects in the the Japanese audio hobbyist magazine MJ. Give these NEW caps a try as an alternative to the 'mechanical sound' of electroltyics? Angela/ASC polyproplylene and oil capacitors feature sealed metal 'oil can' construction and hefty four-way solder lugs on the bottom. The capacitor itself is metalized polypropylene film, similar in construction to Angela Fast Caps and Solens, but suspended in a bath of vegetable oil: some claim that this oil provides a damping effect in audio circuits. These capacitors are E-Z to mount to your chassis; just bore the appropriate size round hole and install with the mounting clamps described below. Some folks mount the clamp under the chassis and some mount'em on top. For a DYN-O-MITE appearance, polish the smooth aluminum case or get an industrial painter to coat 'em with black textured Sherwin-Willams Polane-T epoxy paint (air dry only, no ovens please...).
1. Angela/ASC
Oil Capacitor, 15uF/600VDC, 1.75"
diameter, 3.75" tall. For mounting use our 1.75" clamp listed below.
Please
note that these capacitors have a rolled lip at the bottom of the can,
requiring at least an approx. .1875" larger hole in the chassis
than
1.75"; please allow for this lip when planning this chassis. The best
advice
I can give you is to NEVER drill any holes in a chassis until you
actually
have all of the parts on hand. SALE! EACH $10.75!
2. Angela/ASC
Oil Capacitor, 20uF/600VDC, 1.75"
diameter, 3.75" tall. Rolled lip at the bottom of the cap
requires
an approx. .1875" larger hole in the chassis than 1.75". SALE!! EACH
$10.75!
3. Angela/ASC
Oil Capacitor, 30uF/515VDC, 1.75"
diameter, 4.75" tall. For mounting use our 1.75" clamp listed below.
Rolled
lip at the bottom of the cap requires an approx. .1875" larger hole in
the chassis than 1.75". SALE! EACH $13.75!!
4. Angela/ASC Oil Capacitor, 40uF/515VDC, 2.0625" diameter, 4.75" tall. Four mounting use our 2.0625" clamp listed below. Rolled lip at the bottom of the cap requires an approx. .1875" larger hole in the chassis than 2.0625" Use 2.0625 clamp described below. SALE! EACH $13.75! SPECIAL! WE'VE GOT TWO OF THESE WILL SMALL DENTS FROM IMPROPER PACKING. STEAL 'EM FOR JUST $10 EACH!
5. Angela/ASC
Oil Capacitor, 50uF/515VDC, 2.50"
diameter, 4.625" tall. For mounting user our 2.50" clamp listed below.
Rolled lip at the bottom of the cap requires an approx. .1875" larger
hole
in the chassis than 2.5".EACH
$22. SPECIAL! WE'VE GOT THREE OF
THESE WILL SMALL DENTS FROM IMPROPER PACKING. STEAL 'EM FOR JUST $16
EACH!
6. Clamp for
1.75" capacitor, mounts to chassis
with three screws. EACH $3.
7. Clamp for
1.75" capacitor, lighter duty
version,
mounts to chassis with just two screws. EACH $2.50.
8. Clamp for
2.0625" capacitor, mounts to chassis
with three screws. EACH $3.
9. Clamp for
2.50" capacitor, mounts to chassis
with three screws.EACH $4.
Please note, these caps are
non-polarized and non-directional; there
is NO 'preferred' orientation. We encourage you to experience this
experimentally.
Also note that our voltage ratings are conservative; others selling
these
capacitors in the audio market claim our "515" rated caps are good for
600-800VDC. The bottom line? You can use these capacitors in almost any
reasonable tube amplifier circuit without worry.
