Cool, thanks.

Re: Help with lead spacing and some other things

@retiredcaps:
Well, the dimensions of the caps are, as far as I can tell by measuring with a simple ruler, 8mm in diameter and looks like 12mm height.

@kaniki
Alright, thanks for the info.

Hey everyone.

I'm trying to shop for some replacement capacitors for the first time. I looked through the sticky FAQ threads but still have some questions.

1.) First, are there certain standard categories of lead spacing? Like 3.5mm, 5mm, etc? I flipped over my motherboard and measured between the leads with a regular ruler. It looked about 3.75mm for me, but when browsing DigiKey I found only 3.5mm or 5.00mm after I entered the capacitance and voltage that I need.

2.) Would the UCC KY and the Nichicon HE be good enough? I want to replace a bunch...
