The link goes to your eBay seller page, now
showing 368 items, was there a specific item?

I saw your 330uF 200V snap-in caps. As it
happens a recent design of mine calls for
330uF 250V caps, so that got my attention.
But I like the extra 80-volt safety margin
of a 250V cap over my design's nominal 170V
working voltage. I selected a Chemi-Con KMH
type. It's 1" dia x 1.2" high, much shorter
than your 1" dia x 2" high 200V version. It
appears modern caps are better than old ones.

Not necessarily in order: Xicon, Panasonic, Nichicon.

Xicon is sold only by Mouser, and a couple of other outfits that buy
stuff from Mouser and resell it. It's their "house brand" and applies
to whatever Taiwanese or (more lately) Chinese stuff comes over in the
shipping container. House brands are of dubious utility in textbook
tables even though they might be good deals on good stuff.

What do you think is a good general-purpose low-cost
versatile jellybean aluminum electrolytic capacitor line?
I'm looking for a manufacturer and specific product line.
When I say versatile, I mean available in a wide range of
part values and operating voltages, and physical sizes.

What usually gets past purchasing for through-hole parts: Panasonic
KS, Panasonic M, Nichicon VR

These are all good basic parts but not the best in terms of ESR or
capacitance per cubic inch.

Surface-mount involves radically different dimensions and form factors
in some cases.

In making a textbook table, it would be worthwhile to show a scatter
plot of guaranteed ESR vs dollars spent, all for the same capacity/
volt capacitor (e.g. 1000uF@16V). Did I just volunteer?

Tim.
