If it has a number after the above suffix, keep away from them.

The J (5%) and K (10%) are the only tolerance letters - the "F" is for the RoHS lead-free designation.
Mouser is cheaper on some Panasonics, but I order far more than film caps from Digi-Key, so the difference is insignificant with most of my orders.
My last Mouser order was in March, and they charged 14.40 in Priority shipping. Parcel Select orders from mouser take 11 days for me.
I've paid Digi-Key less than half that in 40+ orders over the years. Big savings for me....
