    Replacement capacitor options please?

    Hi, I'm super new to this capacitor stuff but I've some basic soldering experience with old cellphones PCBs and headphones. I have this APAQ AR5K 820∆μF 3V Dc Capacitor from a motherboard that I'm looking to replace, photos I've attached. But I'm unable to find a 3V one like I've marked in the spec sheet in red (This is the one currently present in the motherboard). But the 6.3V one I can find (marked in blue) is of similar dimensions but different specs as mentioned in the table. Is it okay to replace it with higher voltage cap, slightly higher ESR, slightly lower ripple current, and double the leakage current. Please help me. It would be even more helpful if you could provide me an alternative for this cap in any other brand with a similar specs. Thank you for your help.

    I would go with some 4V caps -- here are some US (digikey) examples: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/...mJKYKD4kSuLaQA

    However, if you want to use the 6.3V cap from the same series, that should probably work, too.

      Where can I get compatible capacitor for replacement?
      by artvandalai
      Blew the capacitor on my analytical balance scale using the wrong power adapter. I need help finding a replacement compatible capacitor to buy. Will any 100uf 40v capacitor work as a replacement?

      klipsch kda-500 amplifier suitable power supply capacitor replacement ?
      by r2digital
      I have a klipsch kda-500 that would turn on and allow me to get into the web management but it was picking up a lot of noise from audio sources so i decided to replace the smd caps on the power supply along with radial one. Some one was in here before me and they basically burned the bottom side of the traces off for the radial cap but i was able to repair it without any real problem. I thought i did a good job sourcing out replacement caps but apparently not and now i can't get the power supply to turn on it just constantly try's to keep turning on. Attached is a picture of the power supply before...

      Discontinued Capacitor looking for Replacement
      by rwkish
      Capacitor has been discontinued (EGXF101ELL331MM20S) all of the replacements I have found have are smaller than 0.709" Dia (18.00mm). I would like to use the same size or at least close to the same size Capacitor. 19mm would be too big as they would touch and not be able to through hole mount. Tia...

      Single capacitor replacement on arcade pcb
      by GKdays
      I have a damaged capacitor from a bootleg double dragon arcade pcb and I have the normal values from it:

      10 volt, 100uF, 85c, but someone from an arcade forum said that the ripple current is not that critical and any good quality low esr cap would be fine, the damaged one is an electrolytic can type but I don't know what to look for as far as low esr is concerned, can a ceramic capacitor be used instead, the capacitor is going to the +5 volt

      I don't know the brand but on the top of the capacitor is stamped "76 F6" if there is a datasheet ide be able to...

      RTX 3080 FE Identifying capacitor
      by Prolog
      Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

      I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

      I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
      (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

      I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never...
