<div dir="ltr">I usually get the blue ones as C0G caps from Mouser. A bit spendier, but they look nice. X7R's usually come in yellow. And no, I don't get kits, I get various ones as I have projects, or as I run out of something common (like 100nF bypass caps).<div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 17, 2017 at 10:45 PM, David G Dixon <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dixon@mail.ubc.ca" target="_blank">dixon@mail.ubc.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hey SDIY team,<br>
<br>
Where do you guys buy your Through-Hole MLCC capacitors? For all my synth<br>
DIY moxy, I'm really not very good at buying stuff. I was just on Digikey<br>
and left very discouraged. I'd really love to find a nice kit with a good<br>
selection of values from about 100pF to 1uF (say, every other standard<br>
value) in C0G and X7R at a 50V rating. Am I dreaming the impossible dream?<br>
Are these things really that hard to find now? I used to get those lovely<br>
blue EKCO caps from my university. I loved those because they were marked<br>
with legible white printing that I could read without a magnifying glass.<br>
Also, even though they were 5% or 10% tolerance, they were generally within<br>
1% of their stated values. Of all the companies to go out of business....<br>
<br>
Anyway, any advice would be most heartily appreciated.<br>
<br>
Hugs,<br>
Dave Dixon<br>
