Re: Does size matter?

And............. success!!
I only had one I had to leave a little tall to clear but it"ll be fine. I actually replaced this motherboard 8 months ago and then my son told me it was getting flakey again. Opened it up and 9 TK caps were bulging again. I"ve soldered stuff all my life but nothing as intricate as this. Damn those traces are close together!! Really glad I found this site. Ordered the caps from here and checked the tutorials to make sure there wasn't anything wierd I had to know. Thanks guys for the help!!

Re: Does size matter?

GREAT!! I appreciate the response. I was 99% sure but I hate to go through the whole procedure just to have to re-do it. Thanks again.

Dang it!! It was late and I didn't catch it, I ordered the 1800uF 6.3v 10mm MCZ Series instead of the 8mm. As long as there aren't any clearance problems and I just tweak the leads over a little to fit I'm thinking I'll be OK right???
