WIGGLING 'LITE' IN GUEST MODE

[mckenzie]

Hi, Im just ordering the parts & am having trouble identifying some caps.

I am ordering these MKT polyester types for the 100v -

For the 63v polyester film however I'm not sure what/how to get as I can't find any that specifically say 'polyester film' on rapid or elsewhere. Do the polyester 'film' type have different characteristics to the MKT polyester (non film?) ?

Also, can i use the MKT ones for the decoupling on the digital section, C5, C7 & C10 as I can't find axial ceramic ? The ones i linked to above seem to have long legs that should fit with a bit of bending.

Sorry, I'm an obvious amateur

Thanks for any help

You should be able to find all the information you need in my Parts Guide. It includes Rapid and Farnell part numbers for most of the parts used in the TM3030.

Sorry for the confusion. Polyester film is the same as just polyester. Most capacitors are made from a sandwich of three layers - two conducting layers, usually metal, which are attached to the leads of the device, and a thin film of insulating material in between the two outer conducting layers. In a polyester capacitor the insulator is polyester film.

Just noticed what you mean about some of them being described as polyester film and others just as polyester. No idea why I did that and it's been like that for well over ten years. I'll get it changed.

But just to reiterate they're both the same types. As an old engineer I do tend to use some of these terms somewhat offhandedly. Most engineers will refer to electrolytic capacitors as just electrolytics, or even 'lytics.

Ok great, thanks for clearing that up.

If your editing the BOM then i noticed the SPST switch should be a SPDT
