Caps Needed for SV25 power supply

[BossTone74]

I have
10mm wide 2.5 cm tall 1650uf 16v
and 8mm wide 2.5 tall 2200uf 6.3

anyone know where I would get them, or a good alternative....looks like I have room to play...

www.digikey.com is a good source for capacitors. No maker of high-quality parts makes them in those sizes, however.

1500μF is the highest value available in 16v, 10mm. To stay at 16v, the size jumps to 12.5mm starting at 1800μF.

2200μF is available in 10mm and larger for 6.3v. 1500μF at 6.3v or 10v is the largest I've found in 8mm.

I'm assuming that you've got a Channel-Well CWT-150 or similar.

I replaced the 2200/6.3 caps with Panasonic FK 1500/6.3 8x20 size. That's about the largest value I could find in 8mm, and it works fine.

The 1650/16 10mm is unobtainium - the closest is 1500/16. I left the original cap in place and decided to fix it later - the 12v line is not that loaded on P3-era systems.

As long as it fits physically, there is no problem in using slightly higher voltage or capacitance. Higher capacitance will provide better filtering, although the change is small enough that you (and the motherboard) won't see any difference.

Thanks for your help!!
on the 16V which one should I get?

which ones?

any ideas?
