Cheap source for capacitors and other components
I started looking for a source for capacitor, resistors and misc. Litte did I know a site I've used for other things was also involved in stuff for electronic components, here it is. https://www.temu.com/search_result.h...e_el_sn=200010

I bought five kits for the price that JUST RADIOS wanted for one.
|
And I am looking for a cheap pace maker with defibilllator

BTW, the prices will go up in the near future, no matter where you get it. |
That Temu site seems to REQUIRE logging in to an account before seeing anything. Not now, maybe some day.

the price was right + free shipping
I'm retired and always looking for a good price, I to the other sites first and they wanted three to four times more for the same thing.

That link doesn't work. Probably only you can see your order.
I took the bullet for everyone and registered. Here's a screenshot of the OP link. Yes, loads of caps super cheap. I'd exercise caution though. The one time I ordered a bunch of cheap, no name caps I ended up throwing them away because the quality was so bad. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...6cc63b60_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...cf153b08_c.jpg |
+1 to what banderson said.
On lower quality and used caps you at a minimum should have a cap tester that can check for leakage at full rated voltage. On some things (usually radios or certain TVs that I feel have close to zero market value) I'll use used or cheap caps. I use the tester to check to check iffy stuff before install, and I even do that for new reputable/reputably sourced cap brands for a while after I start using them. |
Echoing what others have expressed, I don't see how it makes sense to cheap-out on capacitors, especially since they are wear items anyway. Get the good stuff. If budget is a concern, buy them on an as-needed basis.

+1, less headaches for the future.

Yeah, no.
Recap jobs are always kinda expensive in this day and age but for the love of god please source form DigiKey/Mouser and not from the super-cheap Chinese outlets. |
