Dennis: My data shows this cap as an "immersion-proof" unit. Intended for
continuous heavy duty use. Used HYVOL (the oil?) that allows compact size
with high capacity. Looks like an oil filled unit, and polarity should not
matter. Neither side should be connected to case. I show dimensions of 4-5/8
x 3-3/4 x 3-3/16 (HxWxD) and it cost about $25 new.--Mike, WV2ZOW

Subject: [Amps] Help on Aerovox capacitor
I have an Aerovox No 9, A-10941-1, 8 MFD 2000vdc capacitor. I have searched
on google, and the aerovox.com website for information on this cap. My
guess is it is an older one since nothing is showing up with these part
numbers.
Does anyone have info on this cap (other than mfd and voltage, that is the
obvious part). In particular, how did Aerovox mark their positive or
negative terminal? The cap has a round dot in the can at one end, but there
is no paint on it to indicate if it was a positive or negative. Did Aerovox
uses a standard marking for their part? I am assuming this would be a
polarized capacitor with that MFD and voltage rating.
Anyone with an older catalog that can help me out with additional info?
Thanks,
Dennis
