Currently I have three boards using a single Samxon 180uf, 450v cap (22mm x 5 cm)
It _appears_ okay, but since five of the six other caps on the board are bad, I was going to replace them all, including the Samxon pill bottle.
(If anyone is curious, the other caps are capxon 25v 330's and samxon 25v 820's - the last one is a teeny 50v, 47uf)
I'm planning on replacing the 820's with 1000's (I can't _find_ 820's), and the 330's with 330's. The tiny 50v will get an exact replacement as well.
What can I use to replace the pill bottle? It's for the display on an X-Ray/MRI machine, so I don't really follow what it's purpose is going to be (even after reading here for a while). Unfortunately, most of the 450/180's are snap caps, and I can't figure out what the benefit is, and noone's replied if I can simply extend leads on a snap cap to use them.
Should I simply go up a bit on the capacitance and use a different 450v cap, or would I be best off to buy the one $7.50 nichicon cap that's almost exactly the same. (Oh, and what should I use to replace the white glue they used to hold it to the board?)
