I am not sure where this belongs, as I am not looking for resources but information about usage.

In RSA one seems to mainly find electrolytic capacitors by Hitano, Rubicon and Rec. Full data about Hitano is avaiable both in printed form and on the internet. Most data about Rubicon is on internet (I could not find max. ripple current), while very little about Rec could be found.

As with everything these days quality is an issue. I would like to hear from others about good/bad experiences regarding these or other available makes of electrolytic capacitors. I have been using Hitano with good results, but not many of them. Measurements seem to correspond with quoted data. But I cannot always get what I want in Hitano, and some of my designs need very reliable electrolytics.

Could members kindly comment. please?

Appreciated.
