Capacitor pricing

George, don't leave us hanging. What are the brands you think are the same?

I won't outright name a product of rebadging, but if you spend the time and do your homework you will see for yourself. They have selected 20 from 1uF to 100uF from that Solen series and voltage, and if you compare dimensions specs cap for cap you will see, that all "boutique" are not what they appear to be. 

Cheers George

It would be simpler to distinguish the rebranders from the OEMs

In Australia your up for legal action if something goes wrong.
Common guys I know so far you are capable of doing your own comparison searches, I’ll give you the link to the Solen 400v Metallized Polypropylene build specs because I’m not defaming them, but the "boutique" ones you’ll have to search out yourselves.

Chart regarding length, diameter, lead length ect, is near the bottom of the page. And this is just for the middle of the road Metallized Polypropylene one, there are much more higher and lower spec.
Cheers George

Here's something for all to ponder over. 
Just for my own interest and those here who are interested, I viewed all the dimention specs of one of the expensive "boutique" favourites against the same from Solen, both in "metallized polypropylene capacitor 400v" versions.

And in every instance for 20 different value the same uF 
1:The cap body length = exactly the same!
2:The lead lengths = exactly the same!
3:The body diameter was always 1mm more on the "boutique" "maybe re-badged" favourite, what would cause this?
I'll leave that to everyone's imagination.

Cheers George   

Best bang for buck Solen one of the big majors in capacitor manufacturing. And the word is a few very expensive "boutique" branded caps are the same just re-badged.

Pick which one you can afford.
