Hello everyone,
I’m updating the resistors in the crossovers of my old DQ10 speakers and in the process, I accidentally singed the side of an Solen MKP capacitor. The damage is enough that it compromised the black outer shell enough that you can see the white polyester. I’ll try to include a pic. I have no testing equipment, but, am wondering if anyone else has experienced this, whether or not I should be good to go?
Any and all info appreciated.
Thanks,
John

The integrity of the capacitor does not appear to be violated, but a little dab of epoxy may make you feel better.
Even if there were a tiny nick in the metallised plastic film on the outside of the cylindrical roll it would not compromise the bulk of the film in the roll.
You can imagine how little an effect a tiny nick would have on the overall integrity of the capacitor if you look at the attachment - the 'plates' of the capacitor are huge in area compared to a tiny nick.
You can put your mind at rest. 😎
