In Reply to: Black Gate and Kaisei, a look back and future possibilities: pt 2 posted by KAIBER on January 23, 2024 at 06:45:22:
One awesome thing about old Black Gate was that they got specs ranges almost as wide as comsumer-grade capacitors, finding right capacitance/voltage combination was relatively easy. That's where current KAISEI/SEIRYU get bothersome. It seems AN-UK only do specs they think they ever needed and just sell capacitors "along the way." It seems they have a thing against capacitance starting with 33 (only KAISEI 330uF non-polar, nothing else like 33uF or 3300uF), voltages that available jumps from 25v to 63v for some key capacitance, makes 63v being only option in where 35v are needed, resulting dramatically higher spend. :(
5uF/10uF polar caps are either in 16v or 350v, overly under-voltage for activation of latter would be a concern in most application I know of. :(
Film caps may be immune to under-voltage, but the price and size for such capacitance are just...uugh!!
3.3/4.7/6.8uF non-polar are available in 50v, but not visible anywhere other than certain Component Price List pdf somewhere in some corner of their site and never seen available for any of their dealers. :(
If Black Gate Replacement is ever to come to pass in any form, it still seems pessimistic that spec range would be ANYTHING like old Black Gate...
