Electrolytic Capacitors

This pages lists my Electrolytic capacitors. They come in different versions:

TIP: When you power up electrolytic capacitors the first time (also new ones), please try to do it very slowly (with a capacitor former or with a variac). This will make the chemicals in the capacitor to be deposited very slowly on the plates, giving better internal structure, resulting in higher capacity, higher maximum voltage and longer life. Just powering up (like most people do) is no problem, but will possibly result in little less good properties.
