That is a subjective matter. The customs surcharge may be a killer, but Digi-Key and Mouser have a lot of depth in their stock.not too expensive
Is that a store or distributor of this sort of stuff I'm looking for? By the way, what is this stuff called anyway? Electronic components or circuit materials or what? I need the name so I can google some at the least heheThe only thing I get from Canada, is Canadian Club.
An AC rated capacitor is generally used in conjunction with an AC motor - http://www.ambercaps.com/
Poly caps are used to timing or passing signals with an AC component, but are only rated in DC volts.
Yes, I particularly searched for 12 nF capacitor, but I also checked off "AC voltage" in my search filter and this came up. Only reason I provided a link is because someone on here said that you can't use a capacitor with AC voltage, and I just wanted to verify if it can be or not. Can it?Might be listed as 12 nF, but you probably knew that.
I know there is a store named "Active Surplus" which has a lot of this kind of stuff. I'm in Saskatchewan at the moment and I'm not sure if they have exactly the value of the capacitors and the dielectric material inside, etc. I think I'll get that stuff from digikey, and then buy the copper coils and multimeters and stuff from Active Surplus.You can drive to the North-East corner of Toronto where Electrosonic, Active and Sayal have stores.
A1 is in the West end of Toronto.
Staff in Sayal are from India and the parts are inexpensive surplus. I bought many ICs there and some excellent surplus name-brand switching power supplies for a very low price.
Although I buy from Digikey or Newark for most orders online (order before 8:00PM and it is delivered the next morning) it is nice to be able to see what you are buying from a local store.
