Good day, all
I would like to take this opportunity to (nervously) introduce a project on which I have been working: CapRep (Open to suggestions for a better name).
What is CapRep?
Finding a suitable replacement capacitor involves looking up the specifications of the existing caps and then (for me, at least) trawling through datasheets of "good caps" to find a suitable match. For this reason, I created CapRep (Capacitor Replacer). CapRep contains a database of quality brands and series of caps that it searches against your criteria.
How to use CapRep
Using the form, input the capacitance, voltage, and ripple capacity of the cap to be replaced. Click "Find replacements" and CapRep will search its database and return a list of caps that match, or better are than, your search criteria. Input additional (optional) information and receive more specific results.
The results CapRep returns
What next?
There are still many features I'd like to implement, the most important currently being:
Feedback
I'm interested to hear what the community thinks of my little project: Do you find it useful, words of encouragement, words of hate . Find a bug? Report it. Ideas to improve it? I'm all ears.

The results CapRep returns
- Capacitance - Equal to search criterion.
- Voltage - Equal to or greater than search criterion.
- Ripple - Equal to or greater than search criterion.
- ESR - ±20% around search criterion (if value input).
- Diameter - Equal to or less than search criterion (if value input).
- Height - Equal to or less than search criterion (if value input).
What next?
There are still many features I'd like to implement, the most important currently being:
- Layout and aesthetic tweaks
- Expand database (currently 430 caps, but growing weekly)
- Advanced search options
