Tantalum capacitor package size for Color Classic
Posted by: elemenoh on 2019-06-28 08:39:40
I need to recap a few Color Classics and am going to try switching to tantalum caps. What package size would fit best on the existing pads?

These seem to all be the same size:

6 - 47µf - 16V
2 - 100µf - 6.3V

This one is a lot smaller:
1 - 10µf - 16V

In case this is helpful to others, I figured out the correct sizes using this size guide.

47µF - Size C
