Their search engine is the pits, IMHO. Way that works at Farnell (on a
good day):

Enter "film", click capacitors, then film (again ...), check the 27nF
box and then "show results". Sometimes you have to enter stuff a bit
"backwards" to obtain a useful number of hits, meaning not zero and also
not thousands. It sure ain't Digikey ...

What I really don't like is their habit to show lots of products with no
stock and the remark "no longer stocked". What's the point in doing
that? Make the selection look bigger on paper?

Hmm, when I enter "2.7nF" and "film" I get 16 hits, three of the leaded
parts.

What's really strange is that the 1% part from FSC costs less than the
same part in 2.5%.

If you need to order a lot of caps, sometimes this stuff is less
expensive in the former colony :-)

Interesting. I think I must have put 2n7. When I try 2.7nF I get 11
hits, three of them leaded.

Yes, I had noticed that too. As these caps are for a passive audio EQ I
was quite pleased at how cheap the 1% types were.

Hello,

a well done search engine would accept 1000000 �F, 1000 mF, 1 F and even
0.001 kF. ;-)
Have you tried 27000 pF too?

Hello,

they had them before and when they tried to delete them within the
database, they got a database anomaly error warning.

Bye
