In Reply to: Re: Are Electrolytic caps made smaller now? posted by Tweekeng on January 31, 2007 at 16:23:45:
I compared them last night and the new ones are actually closer to half the size, measuring about 15 mm long and 7mm wide as compared to 30mm long and 10mm wide. When you say the newer electrolytics are not the same does this mean I can't use it eventhough it is still rated at 50 volts and 8Uf, just like the old one? The electrolytic is followed by a small Mylar cap rated 1.5K 100 Volts. The ripple current on the new smaller Electrolytic Alcap is 450 ma, I don't know what the ripple current rating on the older one was. The speaker is a small UK monitor with a 5 inch woofer and rated 8 Ohms with the curve never dropping below 6 ohms. My amp is 25 watts and puts out about 3 amps of current, I also use a 60 watt amp that puts out about 7 amps of current. The speakers are'nt current hungry and are rated to handle 100 watts. My idea of getting the same brand and value replacement was because I wanted to keep things closer to the same as possible and also there is not room to fit a larger Poly Cap into the network panel. Will I screw things up by installing the new smaller Alcap elctrolytic regardless if it's the same value? Thanks for the responses.
