Are there any actual 500 volt rated 100 or 80 mfd caps out there?

Terry you just order direct from TAD and they do have a dealer account as well.

TAD caps are custom made by F&T who don't carry 100uF/500V in their own standard catalog.
JJs are spec'd for max 70C operating temp vs 85C for TAD/F&T. This makes TADs operating lifetime significantly longer. Like an order of magnitude longer.
I am in (edit, insert NO) NO way affiliated with TAD or F&T, I just happen to have good experience of the product.

F&T very good.

I did not know that the TAD caps were rebranded F and T.

It seems that a lot of German suppliers get higher voltages to rebrand for their house brand.

Good to know.

F&T in their 500V product line has 82uF and 120uF but not 100uF. It was trivial task to make a 100uF branded for TAD. F&T make no secret of supplying branded products, they even ask for custom brand jobs on their website.

justradio stuff is rebranded chinese production...

the jensen stuff is good but for that much I'd rather just buy a kickass radial mount cap.
