Teflon capacitor duration
whats the shelf life for teflon dielectric capacitors?
these appear to be a decent deal but they are NOS and might be far off their spec

Re: Teflon capacitor duration
8000Vs and rather large, do you need such a high voltage?

Re: Teflon capacitor duration
As they're not electrolytic, that's one possible failure mode side-stepped.
But, IMHO, if you're playing with such voltages, don't risk it. Buy the 'good stuff', and install with due care lest the 'magic smoke' escape...
