Max,

I have no "A" designation anywhere in my Condenser Products literature
so I have no idea what it is.  I only have the following designations.

1st letter (if present):  K = Kraft paper

2nd letter (your first):  M = Polyester(Mylar)
                          N = Polypropylene
                          T = Teflon

3rd letter (your second): O = mineral oil
                          S = silicone oil

4th letter (your third) : B = Paper Phenolic (bakelite)
                          P = Thermoplastic

The second letter/number group is the capacitance and voltage code.

Sorry I don't have a listing for the A. I hope the rest of the info
helps a little.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all on the list!
