cap question

[PhloydFreak]

I gotta bad filter cap on a vintage club 30 watt (crate) and it is really hard to find a replacement, much less an upgrade! ... (10,000uf 16 wv 25mmx35mm snap in) any suggestions? I would prefer to up grade the stock one... its a samwha... wha? The top looks like a balloon! Thanks for any input...

have you tried a search at Mouser, Digi-key, newark, etc. etc.?

I'd try Mouser.. look under computer grade caps too.. They are smaller in size..

Hi PhloydFreak,

Not sure if this is what you're looking for:

Samwha 10,000uf, 16V PCB mounting snap in

H = 30mm, Dia 22 mm, HE series 105 degree C (close enough? Not sure what u mean by top looks like a balloon).

Farnell part # 389-9986

Or, H = 25, Dia = 22, HC series 85 degree C Farnell part# 389-9275

Farnell is Newark. As Dai said, you can look there and see it's the same..

Thanks!

Hey guys,

I moved this topic because it is not 18W related. I'll let it go because as I have said in the past, we don't mind the odd off-topic post even if it is regarding other amps. However, I would encourage PhloydFreak to ask his question on Ampage or the Weber BBS because the guys there are not focused on one amp in particular like we are here.

Thanks,
