    No voltage rating given. It's up to you...but something about that name sends up a "Red Flag."

      Generally these V-chip caps are designated this way:
      Top: Series/Lot Code
      Mid: Capacitance Value
      Bottom: Voltage

      In this case "16" (volts). Somehow the "v" has been left off this rating, which is interesting.

      Why not just pay a bit more and get one of these:

        Man, you must have great eyes. I can't see that "16". Good catch!

          The one from Steven on OSE is a much better deal! More caps, higher voltage.

                  agreed, but remember, the ebay guy has shipping from China, ebay fees, etc. and surely you'll agree he's entitled to make a profit?

                    you are talking to someone who bought direct from china in bulk for resale, 200 to 300 servos at a time , 4mm bullet leads,servo extensions, etc. he is doing better than fine!
