      Looks best choice at mouser and digikey if you are limited to that physical size.

      It always helps if we knew the application Low esr may not be a requirement.
      High temperature might be a factor or long life but there doesnt look much available 150uf 100V and 18x15
      Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

        I can go taller but I am limited to about 18mm on the diameter.

        The caps are for Driver Board's running IRF540 & IRF9540 fets 4 channels. I have a total of 9 board I am refurbishing. Well 6 at the moment that had a combo of blown Mosfets, Thyristors, and Zeners! That I picked up on ebay for very cheap!

        Seems the ones with the China/Taiwanese caps had the open zener's they are so cheap I am replacing them regardless with new on all boards.

        Some Photos of the driver boards!

          If OP goes up in voltage and can fit a taller capacitor, there is at least once choice with 10,000 hour lifetime. However, I don't know if the EE series is applicable in this circuit?

            BTW, it seems that Nashville based Richey, gets their caps made abroad.

            http://richeycapacitor.com/

            If you can identify the 3 letter series code, we can find their datasheet online and then match the appropriate quality brand series to it.

            PS. Been to Nashville and totally regret not going to the Grand Ole Opry as I type this with George Strait's "I hate everything" playing at not so sensible levels right now.

                Yes, it is ghetto waiting for my fuses to arrive but no power applied just jumper in it for checking circuits! For sure when the boards go back together the proper fuse will be in place!

                My question was answered Panasonic FC Series it is! Part # EEU-FC2A151S are in my shopping cart..
