Applications
- Audiophile swapping out aging or lower-grade caps in a preamp signal path, reaching for a WIMA to tighten up the low end and quiet the noise floor
- Vintage audio repair tech replacing a degraded coupling or bypass cap in a classic amplifier to bring it back to original spec
- Electronics hobbyist dropping this into a breadboard or custom PCB for coupling, decoupling, or timing in a DC circuit
- Maker experimenting with capacitor selection in an effects pedal build or DIY audio filter project
- Repair tech sourcing a reliable film cap for a consumer electronics or industrial control board fix
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the dielectric material - polyester (PET) or polypropylene (PP)?
The specific dielectric is not confirmed from the markings visible in the photos or from the part number provided. WIMA produces both polyester (MKS, FKS series) and polypropylene (MKP, FKP series) film capacitors at this capacitance and voltage rating. Buyers with dielectric-critical applications - particularly high-frequency, pulse, or audiophile signal-path use - should verify the series before purchase.
What is the lead spacing on this capacitor?
Photo evidence shows the body measures approximately 5mm wide per ruler comparison. Exact lead pitch is not confirmed - measure your PCB footprint before ordering if lead spacing is critical to your design.
Is this a through-hole or surface-mount component?
Through-hole. Photos confirm two radial leads suitable for standard PCB soldering.
Does this come with any documentation or accessories?
Not included. This is the capacitor only.
A small blue block from a German factory that has been making film caps longer than most of us have been soldering. Whatever circuit is waiting on it, this one is ready to go in clean.
