Non-Polarized Capacitors on CS Boards

Non-Polarized Capacitors on CS Boards

2010-09-09 by Cooper Sloan

Hi,

I am wondering what modern materials people are using to recap their CS's.
Thanks to someone on this list's excellent youtube videos I know what to use
for all of the SAH elements, and have already renovated my PSU- but the NP
caps for the rest of the boards (M, PRA, etc) are totally unlabeled in the
service docs to my knowledge. Polypropylene?
I realize for the ones marked K ceramic .1 is fine...

Is the lone blue tantalum I spy on the KAS the only one? Does anyone know
where to find 2%'s for the SAH caps? Mouser's quantity/lead time is huge...

Cheers,
Cooper

i used NP elec caps on mine. IIRC, there are several NP caps on eachvoice board. i just used the usual nichicon or whatever; mouser definitelyhas them(i actually have a chunk of NP caps left over from that job i think!)

Thanks for the input... I've chosen the nichicon muse and some silmic's. I
recapped the PSU with Panasonics while the voice caps are on the way. Gotta
figure out how to debug this erratic +8/-6 supply in the mean time...
