[Boatanchors] New Capacitor Physical Sizes

[Doug Hensley]

Yesterday I received an order which was for some HV caps to recap a Heath p.s. section.  The
values were like 220 uF @ 450V.

What I got was those values but the cap is tiny.  If I stood it up and stood a .25 cent piece next
to it, wouldn't surprise me if the quarter wasn't taller.   Diameter was about 3/8".

Holy smokes folks, has anyone tried one of these new micro-caps?
