Orange Drop History & Timeline
In the 1960s, capacitors began to be developed using more modern materials like mylar. During this time, Sprague Electric introduced the 'Orange Drop'
capacitor, and it was quickly adopted by many industries especially Guitar
manufacturers, due to its robustness and performance.
1960s: The 'Orange Drop' capacitor was developed by Sprague Electric.
1992: Vishay, a leading manufacturer of components used in electronics
for industrial and military/space application, acquires 'Orange Drops' from
Sprague. SBE Inc (dba SB Electronics) takes over production of Orange Drops as Vishay/Sprague.
2012: Cornell Dubilier Capacitor (CDE) acquires 'Orange Drops' from SBE.
Current: All Orange Drop Caps manufactured today are by Cornell Dubilier
Capacitor (CDE).
Capacitors deteriorate over time (even new ones) so if you’re buying Orange Drops that are stamped SBE, they are at least 7 years old. Ours are all stamped CDE.
