    For replacements, should I transition from Chemi-Con KMG and KMH to KMQ?

    Currently, I use and recommend Chemi-Con KMG (radial) and KMH (snap-in) as replacements for less-known brands for the 400/450V unit(s), along with Chemi-Con KY (and KZM if I can get them) for the low-ESR units on a power supply.
    I noticed that Chemi-Con KMQ (both radial lead and snap-in) is one of the general purpose series recommended for new applications, along with my favourite series of low-ESR series, Chemi-Con KY (and KZM if I can get them).

    Should I transition from KMG and KMH series to KMQ series units?

    For a chart with recommended series for new applications (indicated), see http://www.chemi-con.co.jp/e/catalog...m_diagram.html
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

    I'd be inclined to allow price and availability to dictate your choice. The KY series may be going obsolete soon, if it isn't already. Maybe look at the KZE series if it's available.

    Power Supplies should be boring: No loud noises, no bright flashes, and no bad smells.
