I have drawers & drawers & drawers of caps in my basement (I used to design, build & repair guitar amplifiers). I have .22uF in stock.
Why the 850V rating, though? The LV side of the points can’t generate anywhere near that much voltage. (I have 400V & 630V in stock). I’m not concerned at all about vintage looks; I have some “chicklet” caps that will fit right in….
Exactly what I thought too. I figured maybe 50V and that was stretching it. Until I hooked up a peak-reading voltmeter and saw voltages approaching 400V (as best as I can remember). I am now using these 400V caps from Digi-key. 600V might be better, but these haven’t let me down.
