how to order caps from digikey?

[ilikesteel]

I tried looking up a 2200mf 16v low esr 105c electrolytic cap on digikey's site for a Samsung TV power supply. too many categories' to select info for the cap. any help with searching for such a cap on their site?

thanks to anyone who can help.

You select 16v and click apply filters.
Select 2200uF and click apply filters,
select mounting type: through hole and click apply filters
check in stock and click apply filters

Now you have a small list from which you need to pick capacitors with low esr.

Normally, you'd look at datasheets at each capacitor in that list.
However, a nice "trick" you can remember is that usually capacitors with low esr have a high ripple current (which is a good thing) so you can go in that table and click on the arrows by the "ripple current" column and sort from high ripple to lower.

Now pick from that list whatever you want, but make sure it can fit on your board (look at diameter and height).

These series are good, low esr capacitors

Panasonic FM or FR or
Nichicon HM or HN or HW
United Chemi Con KZE , KY , LXY, LXZ
Rubycon ZLJ and others etc

Here are the spec sheets of the PANASONIC FM/FR/FC series.
When you find the value, the dimension, and rating you need, all you have to is to type in the PANASONIC P/N in the search box in the Digikey, I.E.: for 1000uF 16V, type in EEUFMC102 then the result will pop up.
Mouser sometime will have lower price but the shipping charge seems to be higher.

Thanks budm and mariushm. just ordered two panasonic fm series caps. very easy to do once you know the procedure. ordered a couple of weller solder tips for my ancient W-TCP-L solder station also. it must be more than 35 years old by now. Thanks for the suggestions.
