polyester capcitors...MKT or just normal polyesters?

2005-06-22 by bambam4236

hey all

I picked up a load of parts recently including parts for some CGS
pcb's and i ordered all the polyester caps (200n etc) and received
little lumpy looking caps like ceramics but shiny and colored) instead
of the usual plastic box types that fits kens boards perfectly.
After looking into it more i realised i had to specify MKT (i think
thats right) types and not just normal polyester.....i beleive the
MKT's are a metal polyester cap, is that right? Anyway i got the MKT
types but they cost more and from some pics i've seen of finished
modules lots of people just use the normal polyester types......is
there any advantage to using the MKT variety?

thanks
Brett
