| [title] Getting Replacement Capacitors | |
| [* black] Now we will start searching for replacement capacitors. | |
| [* black] First, go to the website of your electric components distributor and go to the Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors section. | |
| [* black] Narrow the search by entering the capacitance(uF) and voltage (V) values of the old capacitor. You may also want to check the box to only show components that are in stock. | |
| [* black] Narrow the search by price. On DigiKey's website, you can do this by entering how many components you will need, located in the filters section. | |
| [* black] Look for a capacitor from Elna, Nichicon, Nippon Chemi-Con/United Chemi-Con, or Wurth Elektronik with the same temperature rating as the old capacitor. | |
| - | [* black] Now take a look at the datasheet. If the ripple current is the same or higher (at the same temperature and frequency [Hz/KHz]) the ESR is the same or lower(at the same temperature and frequency [Hz/KHz]) (if applicable), and the capacitor is the same size or smaller (you can use a bigger capacitor if it will fit), then the capacitor will meet your needs. |
| - | [* black] Make sure to check pricing. Sometimes it can be the same price or cheaper to buy 10 capacitors instead of 8. |
