Arizona Capacitor Blue Cactus Series 0.22uF 600Vdc
The BLUE Cactus cap is robustly engineered to provide made-in-the-USA sound. Arizona’s Blue Cactus Capacitors are for DIYers who want minimized microphonics in a tough-as-nails construction.
The Blue Cactus cap is made up of a kraft paper and Mylar di-electric, with a higher proportion being Mylar, and aluminium foil electrode, impregnated with high purity mineral oils. The case is hermetically sealed into an insulated electro-tin plated brass tube with glass to metal compression end seals with soft solder to the ends to ensure a complete hermetic seal. The leadouts are tinned OFC copper. These capacitors offer outstanding performance and long life.
Features:
- 0.75" D x 1.875" L
- Tolerance: +/- 10%
- Maximum voltage: 600Vdc
- Dissipation factor: Less than 1.0% when measured at 120 Hz using a GR 1658 or equivalent.
- Insulation resistance: The product of insulation resistance in megohms and the capacitance in microfarads shall be 6000 megohm-microfarads minimum. However, I.R. need not exceed 18000 megohms.
- Operation temperature range: -55 to 85°C at full rated voltage
- Double Layer Dielectric: A small layer of kraft paper and a larger layer of mylar provide strong insulation and low ESR.
- High purity mineral oil impregnation that gives audiophiles long lasting quality and fewer resonances.
- Aluminum foil built to give audiophiles full-bodied timbre.
- A case that’s hermetically sealed and insulated inside an electro-tin plated brass tube.
- Glass-to-metal compression end seals, soft-soldered to ensure a complete hermetic seal.
- Tinned Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) leadouts that provide increased conductivity and resistance to oxidization.
- Made in the USA: Cactus caps come straight from a team of experienced engineers in Tucson, Arizona.
