Capacitor sale

Post by norm8332 »

These are high quality Nichicon caps..That's less than half the Digikey price. I ordered 5 of each.

If anyone ordered these, I'd like to apologize for recommending ordering from Radio Shack. I didn't check resellerratings.com before I posted this. It's been 11 days since I ordered and they still haven't shipped. They are living up to their 1 star rating. PLEASE DON'T BOTHER WITH RADIO SHACK! They suck.

You got that right. I finally got them today.

The 2200s ended up being a Taiwanese brand (SC) although not the worst, not what I ordered and paid for. It was a ripoff price for third tier caps.

At least the 4700s were correct.

Never again Radio Shack!
