You can look at Sprague as well. But for any cap of that size, you need to be aware there may be a need to discharge them prior to placing in the circuit. The resultant stored voltage can damage other electronics in the circuit. They sometimes recharge all by themselves after being drained. dean -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Steve Gregory Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2018 10:17 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] (OT) High Voltage Pulse Caps Hi Chris, When I think of specialty capacitors, the first vendor that comes to mind is Cornell Dubilier.
