    Ordering SMD capacitors for the first time

    Greetings all!

    First time poster here. I'm attempting my first Apple board repair with 0402 SMD capacitors. I'm about to order what I believe are replacement capacitors from Digi-Key, but there's a number here I don't understand:

    10UF
    20%
    10V
    X5R-CERM
    0402-1

    What does the "-1" mean after the 0402?

    Here's the part I'm preparing to order: https://www.digikey.com/short/zfp91j

    Is this a suitable replacement?

      Yes, that's fine. You might also find some on ebay cheaper.

        Recapping a Denon AVR X6400h SMPS
        by Green Probe
        (TLDR: It was capacitor C6519 [Koshin KZH 50V22uF] and C6515 [Koshin KZH 25V47uF] on the power supply. I have questions at the end)
        Disclaimer: I'm an amateur hobbyist and will get things wrong.
        Always use caution when working around mains power and high voltage capacitors!

        Hey guys, I'm repairing a Denon AVR X6400h for my brother. It quit powering on after a power outage. It acted like this last time there was an outage, but after letting it sit overnight it started working again for a few years. This time letting it sit did not bring it back.

        by Perry Babin
        The attached capacitors are used in the output filters of class D amplifiers and hold up well but when they fail, replacements are difficult to find. I've tried the various options on eBay and crossover caps and none survived. Mouser, Digi-key... don't stock many bi-polar electrolytic caps. The only thing that I found survived (never a failure) was the Mouser E2106 (part number 667-ECQ-E2106JF) and the same from Digi-key. They look different but survive. Does anyone know a readily available drop-in replacement electrolytic? The dimensions are approximately 16mm x 25mm....

        No LCD image after connector replacement – lifted components and damaged resistor (Nintendo Switch Lite HDH-CPU-02)
        by Tomylee
        Hi everyone,

        Sorry for the person who’s going to read all this !
        I'm on a Nintendo Switch Lite, motherboard HDH-CPU-02.

        While replacing the left joystick, I had to remove the motherboard to access the connector underneath. When I lifted the LCD connector latch, it broke (the plastic had become brittle over time), so I replaced the entire connector.

        During the desoldering of the LCD connector using hot air, three small components located just below the connector (likely 0402 capacitors) came off and remained stuck to the bottom of the...

        After updating motherboard capacitors, what to do next (Asrock K7VT2, SOLTEK SL-75FRN2L)
        by dragon3x
        Hi, I have some 32 bits computer motherboards that need repair, as they fail to
        power on.

        Here are some examples :

        (N.B. "capacitors" indicated here are electrolytic capacitors located in the onboard
        switching supply area).
        (N.B. #2 : I could not find a 3300 microF aluminum-polymer with a higher voltage
        than 6.3 V.)

        1 - Motherboard #1 : this is an Asrock K7VT2 (socket A) that still works well. To put it on test
        I replaced capacitors with aluminum-polymer.
        3300 microF/6.3 V. x 4 replaced by 3300 microF/6.3 V. (KYOCERA...

        Macintosh Quadra 840AV PSU
        by nicktasios
        I had my Quadra 840AV (which I recapped and had working) plugged in for some time without using it and randomly decided to turn it on today. Unfortunately it did not turn on. After checking the PSU, I found out I was not getting anything from 12V, only from the 5V rail. After a few minutes, I removed the PSU and plugged it back in the electrical outlet and it suddenly started making a weird sound and soon after smoke started coming out. I quickly unplugged it. I opened it up but on first instance I didn't see anything out of the ordinary really. I later turned it back on and one of the MOVs blew...
