[Amps] electrolyitc capacitors reply

[craxd]

I think you mean 470 uF instead of pF @ 450 Vdc. Yes they are easily used for what you want. At 10 
capacitors you will have 47 uF @ 4500 Vdc for the filtering. All our amps are designed around 45-50 uF 
and work fine for the B+ plate voltage. As a matter of fact, we use those very ones in some of our 
designs.

Original message;

I was given some new electrolyitc capacitors(snap in
radial lead type) and was wondering if they were
suitable for an HV power supply.  I'd like to use 10
of them in series for an amplifier power supply
project.

Specs:
470pf @ 450 volts
Max ESR-.529 ohms at +20 deg C and 120Hz
Max Ripple current 1.72(A rms) at 105 deg C and 120 Hz

Are they ok to use?
73,
Bill
