Chuck,
What about the small SM electro caps? Seems to me that these might be difficult to solder (being originally wave soldered) -- getting an iron in there might be difficult. I read that some folks use radial caps with very short, bent leads soldered to the pads.
Your experience?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,
It really doesn't matter, but because I order from Mouser most of the
time, I end up buying Nichicon. For the low voltage radial caps, I usually
use either UPW's or UHE's.
For higher voltage radial caps, I use UVZ's.
With axial caps, your choices become much more limited. Nichicon only makes
85C axial caps, but Xicon has a small series of 105C axial.
When I buy from Digikey, I tend to use the Panasonic FC, FM,EB,ED,EE...
Just about anything made today is an order of magnitude better than those
made when the 2445 was built.

Generally, I replace any bad electrolytic with 105C rated low ESR caps.
They are much longer lived than the 85C caps, and are good in switching
power supply filters.

Chuck,
What manufacturer & series caps do you recommend?
Thanks,
Dave
