Re: Capacitor series meanings



From this I deduce that gd, gc, fj, fl, wg, mbz, mcz, hm, hn, etc, are simply labels or names to identify capacitors, each from its own manufacturer. I.E. like Ford Taurus, Ford Contour, or Dodge Charger, Dodge Viper, Dodge Challenger. They are not acronyms, nor do the labels have generic designations as a whole, only manufacture specific. Bottom line, they are just names. Would this be correct?? Thanks again, dan......

Re: Capacitor series meanings

"Samxon GC and GD are Ultra-Low Impedence, Panasonic FJ and FL are also ULI, in fact, MBZ, MCZ, HM, HN... All ultra low impedence capacitors."

Seems like if they are all Ultra Low Impedance, there would be no need for different designations. I must be missing something. Why use one series over another if they all are ULI capacitors? Do the letters mean anything specific about "Dimensions, Ripple, and Impedance" or just specs on a chart? I guess the question really relates to how and why would you choose one properly...

Hi to all. I was recently asked a question that I couldn't answer even after a couple of hours of research on the net. It's probably pretty basic but I'm not getting anywhere.

It seems that capacitors have designated series labels such as, gd, gc, fj, fl, wg, mbz, mcz, hm, hn, etc. From what I can gather, the designations are merely manufacture model codes. Sort of like Ford f150, f250, f350 or Dodge 1500, 2500, 3500 labeled trucks. But I'm wondering if the labeling is more like Ford Taurus, Contour, or Dodge Charger, Viper, Challenger, i.e. just a name, rather than a designation....
