Quick question on Panasonic series caps

[torin3]

I got 2 more monitors to fix tonight, and I just ordered the replacement caps for them. Should be an easy fix. They both had obvious bulged caps, and their first problem was not turning on.

I've been getting FM series Panasonic caps, but one of them, 0.47uF, 50V wasn't in stock at DigiKey in the FM, or the FC series. They did have it in the EB series, so I ordered that.

Am I likely to have any problems with it? The old cap looked good, and I can put it back in if necessary.

Yes I if the lower values aren't available in the low ESR series a General Purpose series will be fine.

If you measure the ESR on these low capacitance caps they will most likely be in the 10-15 ohm range new anyways.

I've used the EB series myself a few times and didn't have any trouble. I was purging all of the Fukyuus in my Antec.

Yeah I used Panasonic EB for the little caps in my router (post 6), and it's still working fine several months later Good luck!

Since you're ordering from Digikey, PW and HE from Nichicon as well as KY, KZE, LXZ, and LXY from United Chemicon are all about the same or better in specs than Panasonic FC.

With a 0.47uF 50V cap, though, I doubt you will have any problems using Panasonic EB.
