Capacitor prices ?

[Hextejas]

Why so much difference in the prices? I was pricing some parts for a power supply and i saw these 2.
10,000uf, 50v
1) 11.85
2) 41.58

As far as I could tell they are the same so the disparity confuses me.
The prices are from Mouser.


Thanks

Specs, ESR, snap in, solder lug, screw terminal all will impact cost. Like anything there is going to be variables, some attributed to brand markup and others quality. Higher uf caps you start seeing more of the esoteric caps so it isn’t a surprise

You didn't give any detail (such as links to the products in question, and Mouser lists 90 different products with those specs).
Perhaps you meant: United Chemi-Con E36D500LPN103TA67M $11.85/singles and Vishay Sprague 36DY103F050AB2A $41.58/singles

When a company sells millions of products, it's safe to say that many of the pricing decisions are automated or semi-automated. Factors that can influence them include competitors' prices, available stock, estimated demand based on sales history, and manufacturing capacity forecasts. In some cases, a discontinued (NRND) part will have a lower price (to stimulate demand), or a higher price (based on requirements in approved designs).

The electronic distributors also provide different packaging options with different prices, like bulk, full reels, trays, loose, and custom reels. Their outlets in different countries also have regulatory, tax, and logistical issues that vary the prices.

In this case, the main difference is the manufacturers. I would expect that certain customers, like defense contractors, have strict Country Of Origin requirements that limit their choices. So prices are segmented accordingly.

You should improve on how to ask ...
