the NEW and superior FM series 2200u 10V = Part P12357-ND at 76c each.

This should be very helpful to many of you.

Re: Panasonic low ESR caps readily available

yes i am looking at digikey for my next order, although i wanted Rubycon it will be cheaper to get Panasonic FM from digikey.

they have euro 18 delivery to Greece and minimum order of 100 euro otherwise have to pay euro 13 penalty. that might be a problem for small orders. There are 8mm widths available.

Re: Panasonic low ESR caps readily available

The minimum order costs you quote are high. I have not ordered any caps from Digikey, but have ordered a few micro controllers before and the cost were not that high (see below). Perhaps the policy is different for caps or there is a difference ordering from the US. Looking at the US terms and conditions I can only see an International handling charge of US$6.00, then there is freight cost.

Yes I have now looked at the charges levied by Digikey UK and they are much higher. Recommend you purchase from US.

If the Digikey are too difficult go to Mouser in US their International terms look good.

They sell Nichicon. See link below for the appropriate low impedance part numbers essentially the same specs as Panasonic.
