I was just going to buy an assortment of aprox 25
X2 suppression caps in about 5 diff values from
Farnell (not a "kit") for prototyping.

Now, Rapid has a 250V cap set with 110 caps that costs
*less* then these 25 caps from Farnell. (The Rapid
caps are not specificaly X2 rated, but I'd guess
would work OK for prototyping, right ?) I can always
switch to X2 rated caps later, I'd guess.

(And the UK VAT is 17%, and in Sweden 25%)

I must just check if Rapid is on level with
Farnell when it comes to p&p to Sweden. Farnell
charges aprox 4 UKP (+ 25% VAT) for over-night
shippment from the UK to my door-step in Sweden.
Not bad.
