Small cap question.

[diif]

I am looking for some suitable replacements for some small caps and I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. They are from a 17PW20.1
The rest of the caps have been replaced with Panasonic FR,FM and FC. They don't do these values though.

G-Luxon 1uf 160v
G-Luxon 10uf 63v

Thanks.

Re: Small cap question.

I cant see any good makes at sensible prices - although we generally say not to you may have to resort to ebay.
This guy has both in packs of 5 they are panasonic - says 105 deg but maybe someone else can say if they would be suitable

G-Luxon 10uf 63v: you can use FC 12uF 63V (EEUFC1J120)

G-Luxon 1uf 160v

Re: Small cap question.

for the 160v i would use panasonic NHG series.

Re: Small cap question.

NHG will be fine too,

This one is good too, with 3K Hours:

Re: Small cap question.

You can use capacitors rated for higher voltage than the one used on your board, as long as they'll fit in the space you have.

So for 10uF 63v, you can use capacitors rated for 63v, 75v, 80v or even 100v
Same for the 1uF 160v capacitor, you can use one rated for 200v or 250v.. don't limit yourself to exactly 1uf 160v.

Try farnell since you're in England according to your sidebar profile, so use http://uk.farnell.com or http://cpc.farnell.com (smaller selection but cheaper or free shipping, same company).
Also check out http://tme.eu or http://uk.rs-online.com/web/ , they're both european companies so shipping would be cheaper

Note that for some, you may have to order minimum of 5. In that case, skip to another that you can buy just one piece.

Re: Small cap question.

Thanks guys, i usually order from CPC or RS, so i shall have a look a bit later today and see who has got what.

[diif]

Re: Small cap question.

It seems Farnell now do free shipping with orders over £20 and they have all the parts i am ordering as neither CPC or RS had a mosfet i need to order.

Before i finalise my order can you guys tell me what kind of resistor i am posting ?
orange white silver gold - 0.39 ohm but what type is it please, it's metal under the grey coating and has at least 250v going through it.

Re: Small cap question.

flameproof metal oxide fuseable type.

Re: Small cap question.

Thanks again stj.

[diif]

Re: Small cap question.

Stj, i don't suppose you know where i can source a couple in the UK do you ?
Farnell and RS don't have any that low.

[stj]

Re: Small cap question.

they do,
but because the capacity is important, you shout say the length and diameter.

[diif]

Re: Small cap question.

15mm x 5mm

[stj]

Re: Small cap question.

i think it may be an ERG3S or something along those lines.

[diif]

Re: Small cap question.

Cheers stj, one of these ?

Re: Small cap question.

yep

Re: Small cap question.

Awesome, thanks for all of your help, I've completed my order.

Re: Small cap question.

I'd just like to say thank you to all that posted. I have fitted the small caps in the Vestel PSU and the TV has stayed on all day.
I have fitted the resistors in the Dell power supply i am also working on and i have to say i like the way they look. However I'm getting -166v where i should be getting 14v, so a little more investigation is required i think.
