Wesco 432P1R 0.0068uF 1200V 5% Film Capacitor Vintage NOS Bench Checked
Full Description & History
Vintage Wesco 432P1R 0.0068uF 1200V 5% film capacitor intended for high-voltage electronic circuits, vintage equipment restoration, audio equipment, radio repair, amplifier service, coupling, filtering, and general restoration work.
This capacitor is especially useful for older analog equipment where high-voltage film capacitors were used in signal coupling, filtering, timing, amplifier stages, tube equipment, test equipment, and other discrete-component circuits.
This capacitor was bench checked by RF Boneyard and measured 6.9 nF against a nominal value of 6.8 nF. The measured value is approximately 1.5% above nominal and remains comfortably within the marked 5% tolerance.
LIFECYCLE: OBSOLETE
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Wesco manufactured film capacitors for commercial, industrial, audio, radio, and general electronic equipment during earlier generations of through-hole electronics. High-voltage film capacitors such as this 1200V example are now most commonly encountered as vintage service stock, surplus inventory, or new-old-stock repair components.
