Where can I get the US made CDE (Cornell Dubilier) capacitor? I find most of 380LX 381LX are manufacturing in Malaysia. Or they still manufactring those caps in US?
Thank you xtaltech,
I checked it, but it is a screw terminal type. I will need the snap-in type like their 380LX and 381LX.

Much as I like supporting my fellow US workers rather than paying policeman to keep the idle from rioting, the US electronics component industry is dead. I've been receiving from Newark.com some Panasonic snap in caps 2200 uf and larger assembled in USA, but news reports indicate that operation is closed, also. I doubt if Panasonic would have exported those units to the far East anyway. Vishay Sprague Axial lead caps are still made in USA, but that is not the style you want.
I find Nichicon, Rubicon, Panasonic, high service life rated caps (3000 hours service life and over) to be excellent. I've had trouble with CDE caps made in the 1980's being short lived, and the new CDE ones IMHO have a ripple factor worse than the first three brands defining "end of life", on the datasheet. Read the datasheets and see what I mean.
See for example the Nichicon LGY series, which is rated 5000 hours.
United Chemicon snap in caps have been made in China, have okay initial quality, but again their end of life ripple factor spec was worse than the first three vendors. I have three United chemicon caps installed in my organ.
With the rampant sale of counterfeit parts on E-bay made with something cheaper and a spray painted label, I buy components from distributors like mouser newark and tubesandmore, with a reputation to protect for selling real parts.
