LC power supply recap question
Posted by: chiptripper on 2022-02-10 18:30:03
Hi, I'm in the process of recapping a bunch of LC power supplies. I can't find a reliable supply of large snap-in caps (180uf 400v.) They have to be very low profile, 25mm or less, or else you can't put the PSU back together. (I learned this the hard way.)

Here's my question: will I run into any troubles if I use caps that exceed 180uf? Plenty of 220uf 400v low profile caps out there, for example.

It's fine to make that substitution.

Great, thanks! I figured that was the case but wanted to double check.
