    Capacitors to use for wireless access point?

    Got a wireless access point, LevelOne WAP-0003 v1

    The device appears to work OK but all the caps are 'STONE' which according to the list here are junk.

    I want to replace the lot with something decent, as even though it seems to work, one is bulging and the rest are probably half-stuffed as well anyway

    The one which is bulgy is (the only) XR series (apparently high ripple and low ESR rated - datasheet attached if anyone wants it) and going by Stone's website, the rest are likely HR series (general purpose)

    They are all as follows:

    3 x 1000uf 10v 105*C
    1 x 470uf 16v 105*C
    5 x 220uf 16v 105*C
    1 x 100uf 16v 105*C

    1 x 680uf 6.3v 105*C 'XR'

        What about replacement for the XR? I've been looking on RS-Components and the only 680uf is Nichicon HE.

        It says Low Impedance but not Low ESR. Do you think it would be suitable to replace the STONE XR??

          HE is fine. Lower ESR than FC.

          Pay attention to diameter and lead spacing too or you may have issues mounting them.
