Title: Part Sourcing on Mammoth website for Pastyface
Post by: PaxWorks on April 16, 2011, 01:15:11 AM
Can anyone help figure out what capacitors to order for the Pastyface on Mammoth's websit?

You could use some of the ones from mammoth but you'll have to bend the leads to fit the pcb.  The pcb is based for "mojo" parts.  Mammoth does not carry the type of caps that Brian used for his build.

You can still use the poly film that mammoth carries.  The panasonics should have long enough leads to work.  You'll have to source the electrolytic caps elsewhere because mammoth does not carry axial lead orientation.  I'm not sure that the radial ones they carry will stretch that far...

Small bear carries the caps you need for this.  Unfortunately, it's very hard to find what you need only at one place

Should purchase them from Small Bear instead? I want to get it as close to the PDF as possible.

Yes, those parts are all found at Smallbear.

I'm having a hard time knowing how to get certain things because Small Bear uses mf instead of uf.

Some of the values seem a little different though?

Small bear doesn't have n, pf or uf.

I think you may be misreading some part values at Smallbear.

Often they replace uF with mF.  NF is a conversion, and there are both film and ceramic pF values as well, in large quantities. However, if you are specifically looking for a specific axial cap in a particular value, Mouser may be a better choice for you.
