Aluminum SMD capacitor replacement

LeBeauLuc · 05-08-2023, 09:30 AM

Hi badcapers,

I am quite puzzle, I am trying to figure out what will be the best replacement for my SMD caps. Knowing that I have no info on the brand and the specifity of the caps, I am quite unsure about what to use, should I go back to SMD aluminum caps or radial caps? Any recommendation for a SMD type to use?

I have included a picture with the current ESR on each cap, you can see that some are pretty dangereously out of specs.
