Sorry to go off at a slight tangent, but given you're talking about capacitor specs it's slightly relevant.
I'm currently sourcing some replacement capacitors for my Mac II Astec power supply unit and finding it hard to find exact replacements for their physical size. I can find the correct micro farad rating (2200) and the correct voltage (25v or 35v) and the correct temperature rating (105) and a decent lifetime rating of 10,000 hours but I can't find the correct physical size (11.5mm x 37mm) the closest I can get is 12.5mm diameter x 35mm height.
How critical is that the capacitor be the same dimensions as the one it replaces? Or is it simply not that critical in terms of its performance?
This is the one Im considering - http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/aluminium/7396831/ Handy it comes in a pack of two because I only need two!
Cheers!
