This is my first post. If this is off topic, please excuse me.

I plan to replace a 2.0 uF 450 vac capacitor with one with the same spec. This should be no problem if they are of the same style. In my case, the one to be replaced is cylindrical, about 1.5 cm in radius and 3.5 cm long (can't find the model number on it). The one to replace it is a CBB61. This is for a ceiling fan.

Capacitors can be made of different materials and sizes. I wonder if they can be replaced with a same spec one regardless of the material it is made of.

This is my first post. It took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to post. I guess I just need to be smarter.
