Title: Sunking C5 - Where can I get one?
Post by: thetrend77 on November 30, 2010, 05:28:36 AM
Does anyone know where I can get a 390n (.39uf) capacitor for the C5 on the Sunking project? I'm pretty much finished with mine, but I apparently forgot to order that one cap.

Also, for the GE diodes, I'm using a 1N270. Is that a good one to use? lol

Thanks for the info!

1n34a or 1n270 diodes both have worked well for me.

I have the cap, but I'm in Canada so it will cost to get it to you. If anyone else can help, great. If not, I got yer back.

The 39 is an odd (European) value. I wound up adding two caps (a 33 and whatever other cap in series that got me there, I don't have my notes).

I will gladly ship you one if you need it (if your in the US).  Then you would save shipping for a cheap part.  PM me by tonight if interested.  I'll be going out of town tomorrow afternoon but I could slip it in the mail in the morning.

I just got a bunch of these too (AVX ones). In fact, I may ship a few out as freebies with the next batch of Sunking boards. I don't think I need 100 of them.

Thanks for the offer guys, but I just went ahead and ordered the ones in the mouser link that was posted. That's a good idea though, Brian, since that's one of the harder ones to come by.

I had the hardest time finding them, too. Mammoth Electronics (mammothelectronics.com) just got some in, Panasonic ECQ-v1h series in .39µf :)
