    Nichicon VX replacement

    Current project is almost all Nichicon VX capacitors (20%) which appear to be discontinued. Any recommendations for a high quality replacement? Thanks

    do you need axial casings or does the board have holes for radials?
    the VX is nothing special, just a 105' temp rating.

      From what I have seen so far, Axial.

        Vishay seems to be the brand with the largest range, Cornell Dubilier also has a decent amount, and Kemet and Epcos have half each of that again.

        Which one is the best quality brand from those four? No idea, but I'd trust them over the average Chinese junk.

            Nichicon's current 105C general purpose series seem to be the UVZ and UVY series.

              Those aren't axial though...
