Title: What do you think? real or fake?
Post by: micromegas on December 04, 2014, 10:26:13 AM
Do you think these are real Panasonic?

It says ECQV Specifications, but doesn't specify any brand

Probably some kind of replica of panasonic caps.

I've ordered this item from this seller before and they were definitely Panasonics - although they did specifically say Panasonic in the auction title the last time I ordered, which was maybe a year and a half ago. But it's the same photo and same description so I'd say it's worth the risk.

I just thought they had stopped selling them since I always searched for them by "Panasonic 1uF".

$8 per 100 is a good deal for any 1uF film cap, honestly, even if they aren't Panasonic.

I wrote them asking about the brand and got this answer:

"Shanghai,
EBAY cannot sell brand"

I think I'll order a few and compare them against the Panasonic I already have

it's $8 per 50, but still a good deal

We get some panasonics from ebay from time to time that are likely not real panas. The colouring is sometimes a little different. But never had any bother with any of them.

I've also contacted them, I am thinking of buying larger amount from them..
Please report what do you think about them and it would be good if you could measure them..
