audioguru Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hi Stuee,The Oriental "green caps" are metalized plastic film (mylar or polyester).103J is 0.01uF, 5% and is good.103K is 0.01uF, 10% and is cheaper.I don't know what is the voltage rating of the cheap one.

Hero999 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 The more expensive one is rated to 100V.The cheaper one is probably rated to 50V but it doesn't say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuee Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 So the old (orig) cap is cheap and the possible replacement 103k100v is the better one so i can use them.thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
