The capacitors of choice for audio are Polypropylene (PP) film, those that you have are Polyethylene (PET) film capacitors. The pure PP are bigger and more expensive.

Thought the yellow one is plastic film capacitor?

[@samuelgodsglory1627]

Great video sir. Quick question. Can electrolytic capacitors be used to replace these capacitors in an amplifier circuit? 0:30

[@IMSAIGuy]

No.

[@binomis3468]

It looks exactly what you'd expect from the diagram symbol lol

[@ZPapaGeek]

The difference with the dipped cap could be voltage rating? IE 2 caps in series to give higher voltage capability?

[@OJesusX3]

Dude, these are awesome man. Thanks for making this! 😄🌎✨

[@chrisscott1547]

I was hoping you could test these with say a 50 kHz squarewave and a scope. ...see if the audiophools are right.

Hello sir I would like to know how to solder film capacitors without damaging it with heat

[@IMSAIGuy]

they are designed to be soldered, so just follow good technique. A good soldering iron is key.

[@Paul_VK3HN]

Size is proportional to voltage rating?

[@afkcnd2395]

No to capacitance and voltage, wich means that at a same volume if the voltage is hight the capacitance can be low

[@Sitzkrieg]

Is that silvery stuff on the ends of these capacitors schoopage? could someone explain to me in depth what schoopage does?

[@IMSAIGuy]

Application of metallic contact layer ("schoopage") - The projecting end electrodes are covered with a liquefied contact metal such as (tin, zinc or aluminum), which is sprayed with compressed air on both lateral ends of the winding. This metallizing process is named schoopage after Swiss engineer Max Schoop, who invented a combustion spray application for tin and lead. www.capacitorfilm.com/web/encontent.aspx?ch=83&con=491

[@qwaqwa1960]

The dipped cap is probably wound, not stacked...

[@IMSAIGuy]

that would explain the center conductor

[@theonekninek75230k]

so which one has less buzzing, the dipped?

Cool video and helpful info. 💯💫
