JJ Axials?

Anyone used them?
They appear to be the same size cap from 20uf/500V thru to 100uf/500V, only 42mm long by 25mm diameter. Not bad money either.

11/16" x 1/2" is 17.5mm x 12.7mm. That is pretty small for a 100uF at 500V!!

These are new to me but I think that the indicated dimensions must be wrong.

I checked JJ's website. They are 25 x42mm, the tubes and more numbers are bogus.

They are rated only 1000 hours and at 70 deg C maximum. In practice I'm sure this would be exceeded by a wide margin.

Prices are good. I've used JJ can caps without problems, but I have heard of some problems from others, early failure.

yeah sorry bout that link was the first one i saw. http://www.banzaimusic.com/JJ-100uF-500V-axial.html
These guys have them all the same size, at 42mm x 25mm, i looked at the data sheets and thats correct.
No good for matching up express type of bigass caps, but on a PS board could be good. Ive had no issue to speak of with their cans.

25x42 is more like .9" x 1.7". This seems perfectly reasonable to me. I've used the can caps with good result. The prices look very competitive. It's good to see JJ entering this market.

Yea lots of thesed websites are listing "lazy" numbers. I thought initially i was overdoing it when i blueprinted my x10 with the big solens but i had to and glad i seeked a second opinion on some because many were wrong.

Mouser, however, is pretty much spot on with their numbers. A behemoth of a website but all the info you need and i can navigate it pretty quickly now with some tricks i picked up along the way.

At the risk of hijacking....Does anybody here use Project Manager at Mouser? A great timesaver for me!! I see that there is an option to "Share Projects"..but...I don't know anybody closely enough to share with.

I have about a dozen archived projects. None of them are completely specific to any single build as I always seem to be slipping in last minute goodies for "stock" and repair jobs.

I would certainly be willing to share just to understand the mechanics of the process if anyone else is.

Does anybody here use Project Manager at Mouser?

Dave, I use it all the time. I love the "part/history" search function.

Yes indeed! Once you get a few projects archived, the next ones just get quicker and easier.

Have you ever shared a project? Just wondering how that works.

Cheers,
