Customer ServicePaper caps are the most abundantly used type, found in all areas of the radio circuit for general coupling, decoupling, and filtering. They are non-polarity sensitive, with values typically ranging from .001uF to .47uF. Most of these capacitors are clearly labeled with both value and voltage rating, with the actual measured value being quite close.
Customer ServiceAntique capacitors types Paper/Wax These are usually 1/4" to 3/4" wide wax covered cardboard cylinders with leads coming out of wax plugs at each end. Occasionally, they can also be found as rectangular metal "bathtub" cans with values stamped on them, but no polarity markings. Paper caps are the most abundantly used type, found in all areas of

Customer ServiceWhen a set you''re restoring has wax paper capacitors, what is your approach to dealing with them? 1) Change every one on sight, no testing. 2) Test each and every one out of circuit (one end snipped) and replace it if faulty. 3) Leave them all in place and change as when you find them to be the cause of an operational fault.
Customer ServiceThe relevance of ESR to capacitor selection is twofold: 1) it influences the AC response of the capacitor, and 2) it imposes limits on the amount of AC current that can be permitted to flow through the capacitor due to thermal limitations. Current flow through a capacitor''s ESR results in I2 R losses just like any other resistor, causing a temperature
Customer ServiceSecond only to power cords, capacitors are the most failure-prone components in old radios and televisions. In a professional overhaul, it is common to replace all of a set''s large electrolytic capacitors and small paper capacitors. This article explains how to do that.
Customer ServiceThis article will explain what these capacitors do and discuss a few different approaches for replacing them. What are Electrolytic Filter Capacitors? When a new piece of vintage gear shows up in my shop – the first thing that usually gets checked (and replaced) are the large electrolytic capacitors in the power supply stage. Usually, these
Customer ServiceI once tried frying a waxed-paper capacitor in candle wax, hoping to get it above 100C and drive off the moisture, the wax then sealing it. I monitored the leakage current
Customer ServiceWhat is Capacitor? A capacitor is an electronic component characterized by its capacity to store an electric charge. A capacitor is a passive electrical component that can store energy in the electric field between a pair of conductors (called "plates") simple words, we can say that a capacitor is a device used to store and release electricity, usually as the result of a
Customer ServiceAny sort of film capacitor is plenty suitable to replace what is probably either a ceramic or a paper capacitor. You can use different types to play with the sound if you like, but a good starting point is a Sprague 716p "orange drop" type. They''re not real expensive, and they''re just about bulletproof. I also use a lot of inexpensive yellow film caps that you can get at most

Customer ServiceI once tried frying a waxed-paper capacitor in candle wax, hoping to get it above 100C and drive off the moisture, the wax then sealing it. I monitored the leakage current while I was doing this: the leakage increased and, assuming that my process was making matters worse, I gave up on on it.

Customer ServicePlastic-Film Capacitors: Plastic-film capacitors are constructed in basically the same way as paper capacitors, except that a thin sheet of plastic (such as Mylar, Teflon, or polyethylene) is employed as dielectric. This dielectric improves the properties of the capacitor by minimizing leakage currents, even at temperatures of up to 150-200°C. Their other characteristics are similar to

Customer ServiceBy convention, these shapes are a square, a triangle, and a semicircle. (In older radios, the can may lack coding and you will have to consult the radio's schematic to determine what each wire is connected to.) The following photo shows the value markings on the side of a four-unit metal-cased capacitor.
More, when you have enough energy transfer through the dielectric, as in the case of the capacitor across the output transformer, you MUST select a suitable dielectric. A polyester film capacitor could swell and explode if used in such an application. Do you know how to specify the proper dielectric for each circuit?
The values of molded paper capacitors will be larger, similar to other paper capacitors, such as .01 or .02 mfd. Capacitance values are expressed in units called farads, named after the British physicist Michael Faraday. The capacitors found in radios and TVs have values in tiny fractions of a farad.
Paper caps are the most abundantly used type, found in all areas of the radio circuit for general coupling, decoupling, and filtering. They are non-polarity sensitive, with values typically ranging from .001uF to .47uF. Most of these capacitors are clearly labeled with both value and voltage rating, with the actual measured value being quite close.

Ceramic – Ceramic capacitors were available for a wide variety of applications. Depending upon their composition, ceramic materials with different dielectric constant and controlled temperature coefficient were made. Low-capacitance, controlled temperature coefficient types have been commonly used in RF or IF tuned circuits.
