I need to replace two caps (both the same) on the power supply of a Samsung flat panel monitor. The caps are:
- Brand: CapXon
- Series: GL
- Type: Aluminum electrolytic, radial leads
- Capacitance: 820uF
- Working voltage: 25V
- Temperature rating: 105 degrees
- Diameter: 10mm
- Height: 20mm
- Lead spacing: 5mm
I'm having a real problem finding caps of the same size. I find 820uF's that are 10mm diameter but 25mm high (which would put the tops close to or in contact with a metal cover when reassembled) or 12.5mm diameter and 20mm high (which would put the capacitor sides very close to or in contact with other components, such as a heat sink). So, anything larger than 10mm x 20mm is a tight squeeze.
The current CapXon GL Series product listing does not include 820uF's in the size I need. I have tried contacting SamXon, and they are not very responsive.
Before I give up and cram a couple 12.5 x 20's in there, does anyone have any ideas for locating 820uF 10 x 20's of decent quality?
Also -- out of curiousity -- is there a connection between the small size of the 10 x 20's and the fact that they failed? Does size reduction translate into compromised durability?
All advice will be welcomed. Thanks!!
