Tantalum Capacitors

I'm having some difficulty finding a 22uf film cap for a crossover in the size I want (less than 25mm dia.). I find some tantalum caps in this size, but I know some people don't like them. Any advice? Are tantalums okay to use in a crossover. I'm looking for + - 5 tolerance

Thansk,

Kent,

This looks good. I must have missed this one. I looked Madison Sound, but didn't see it. I was looking for +- 5, but this will probaly do fine.

Best,

Glad to help. RoyC recommended Carlis to me some time ago and I use them whenever I can. Great bargains.

Please, don't ever use Tantalum capacitors in crossover networks, they are really mainly

for use in power supply decoulpling:

These are 3% and a reasonable price:
