Mundorf MLytic High Voltage Power Supply Capacitors (500VDC MLSL Series)
Premium High-Voltage Dual Electrolytic Capacitors for Tube Amplifiers
As an authorised Mundorf dealer,
we supply the official Mundorf MLytic HV (High Voltage) power supply capacitor series, engineered specifically to meet the
demanding requirements of valve and tube audio amplifiers. Made in Germany with the greatest care, these superior MLSL series
dual-capacity (dual-section) 500VDC capacitors feature powerful non-magnetic 3-pin DIN solder-lug connectors designed for
higher current delivery. They are the ideal upgrade or replacement for classic tube amplifier power supplies, audio restorations,
custom valve builds, and serve as a fantastic replacement for the now-defunct Black Gate capacitors.
Advanced Engineering & Key Features:
- Made in Germany: Precision engineered and manufactured in Germany to exact high-end audio standards.
- Non-Magnetic 3-Pin DIN Connectors: Features heavy-duty, non-magnetic 3-pin solder-lugs (1mm x 4mm x 7mm) designed for higher currents without magnetic signal modulation.
- Manila Hemp Paper Separators: Utilises high-grade Manila hemp paper as a damping separator to absorb internal vibrational energy and significantly reduce microphonic effects.
- Laser-Welded Internal Connections: Precision laser welding creates permanent metallurgical bonds at contact points, dramatically lowering Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and ensuring consistent long-term conductivity.
- Maximum Contact Coil Technology: Incorporates multiple parallel contact lugs across the coil to reduce both ESR and Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL - 20nH), enabling faster energy transfer and cleaner transient response.
- High-Temperature Glycol Electrolyte: Features a high-temperature glycol-based electrolyte that boosts internal conductivity, increases ripple current capacity, and stabilises electrical performance under dynamic load changes.
- Protective Insulation: Encased in a lead-free PVC sleeve with an end disk, voltage proof up to ≥2500V AC.

Applications & Compatibility:
Mundorf MLytic HV capacitors are constructed in dual-section configurations
(sharing a common negative terminal) with 3-pin solder-lug terminals. This dual-can design directly mirrors classic tube
amplifier power supply filter layouts, making them an ideal choice for servicing, upgrading, or restoring vintage valve
equipment and modern high-end tube power supplies.
