    Capacitor Replacement Verification

    I've been reading this forum and think I've picked out some replacement capacitors, but wanted to double check with somebody else to verify my sanity 😆.

    Current Capacitors - OST RLX
    Going off of this PDF: https://www.badcaps.net/download/?id=86ad7b31

    16 Volts
    1500 uF
    10x25 mm
    .020 ohms
    2780 mArms

    10 Volts
    1500 uF
    10x16 mm
    .022 ohms
    1800 mArms

    Planned Replacements

    16 V
    1800 uF
    10x25 mm
    17 mOhms
    2.9 Amps

    10 V
    1500 uF
    10x25 mm
    22 mOhms
    2.15 Amps

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Can you provide the brand and series of the planned replacements?

      Hi Andrew,

      The 16 volt ones are Nichicon UHW and the 10 volt ones are Chemi-Con KZE looking at the datasheets. Thanks for your help!

        The series look good. For the 16 volt ones, just make sure the application isn't capacitance-sensitive, otherwise you might be better off getting the 1500uF UHWs.

          Thanks. I probably should get the (or some) 1500 uF ones . Someone else said I should. I was reading about ripple values a little bit here, but I haven't been successful finding 16V 1500uF capacitors with a ripple value of 2780 mArms....

            those will work,
            you dont need to be that well matched though.

              Thanks! talking with someone else, I may just get ones that match the capacitance more closely than the ripple. I was thinking these: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/647-UHW1C152MPD, at least or the 16 Volt ones.
