[R-390] Caps

[David Wise]

I'll ask them for clarification.  The Scottish in me won't let a bargain go that easily :)

(I left out FKP3 because Mouser doesn't stock them.  Pity.)

I'm inclined to take Wima's word for it if they say the FKP 1 is 
self-healing.  In any case, the FKP 1 is still a specialized snubber, 
not designed as a general-purpose capacitor.

Both the FKP 1 and FKP 3 (Wima's general-purpose film/foil capacitor) 
are packaged in the Wima "box" and are usually found with short (PC 
mount) leads, although the FKP 1 is sometimes found with longer (but 
still only ~ 1/2") leads.  Both are thus poor candidates for use in 
point-to-point wired radios.

Best regards,

Charles
