I am replacing a number of caps in my monitor. 2 of the caps i originally wanted to order were on backorder until august, so I was given a "better" cap, going from 25v to 50v. What I didn't realize is that the diameter looks pretty much doubled and I'm not able to seat them completely and they also touch each other. Will I be ok if I use them like this until I can get the proper size caps, or do I need to wait until I get them before installing anything?

Re: Capacitor question
25v to 50v might not be the way to go. Depends where the caps are in the circuit. I'd say find another source of caps and get the right ones.
If the contacts make it through the holes and the legs don't touch anything metal you are OK. Then again you have 2 reasons not to use these caps.
