Main Cap

[ljintexas]

I have a smps from a sceptre I am recapping..I cannot find a replacement 100uf 450 volt cap that is the same size as the original. Its 18mm by 32 mm.
Am I looking in the wrong places? ? Been to mouser, digikey aliexpress.

Thanks

Re: Main Cap

Are the dimensions critical?
For example, could you fit one in that's a little longer, or a little wider?

Re: Main Cap

I guess I could use one that is a little wider..kind of in a tight spot, laid down on the board.

Re: Main Cap

I found a Nichicon...A bit pricey at $5, but the right size. Thanks
