After reading Pixelphoto's story below I decided to answer you with a new post rather than hijack his thread. The fact you suggest and offer the size cap you did tells me you know nothing of the purpose of a safety cap and EMI filtering. Off the top of my head without using any test equipment to measure I would say Pixel has a better shot at achieving results than you. BIGGER IS NOT BETTER WHEN FILTERING NOISE. As far as his choice of brand cap I'd say he made an informed if misguided choice. I'd bet a .01mf ceramic cap used there would perform the same. I've added a link, that can be opened in another window to appease VINNIE2, that you and others can take some time and try to understand that there is some science behind all this and not just smoke and mirrors.

Open the link, If I read the data sheet correctly it's an X1 / y2 ceramic capacitor. NSBAAIYCSI. |

Interesting info. So now we have recognized, approved and certified. T456 |
The symbol on the caps is the "ULR us" symbol which is for "recognized" afaik. n/t, posted on May 24, 2017 at 17:50:21 | |

You didn't mention the specific cap in the text. I guess he thought you would follow the provided link to view the suggested cap. That's what I did. I read that they are not UL approved. Then you didn't click the link he provided. Here again is the data sheet. Note text on the right column where you find: "These encapsulated devices also meet the flame test requirements outlined in UL Standard 94V-0." Speed reading doesn't always work very well. :) |
Thank you for the clarification. nt, posted on May 25, 2017 at 18:53:37 | |
