@erik_squires, I've used some oil caps in x-overs without failures, but some context might be helpful as to what you application is. I've considered them for DC coupling in amps but never soldered any in that position. Fun post. Some solder most don't. Peace.
Boutique caps in oil... reliable?
Hi Everyone,
Just kind of openly curious. On occasion I will read a post here or there that a boutique film cap which uses oil as a dielectric has leaked (i.e. failed).
Just wondering when it comes to these high end oil impregnated (or maybe even wax!) caps what your experience has been with long term reliability.
Thanks!
Erik
