Help with capacitors

Hey, im fixing a imac logic board that has a damaged capacitor. The original capacitor says: 947 Sepc 270 16. I have looked through board viewer and traced it to the correct values: 270uf, 16v. Just as the original capacitor says. I cant find a direct replacement online for this capacitor. I have 239 Sepc 270 16 capacitors laying around, and compared to the original it's smaller. But is also 16v, 270uf. Can i replace it with this one? I cant really find specifications for them. Thanks

Re: Imac capacitor help

SEPC is an early polymer cap from sanyo,
nichicon , panasonic and kemet among others also make good polymers

the other number doesnt mean anything really, just gonna be a batch/date code

Should work fine.

SEPC = Sanyo SEPC polymer capacitor series.
