Capacitors required

[Rare Bird]

Ok

I need to rebuild the WPM section from a turntable DC Servo motor board, the Electrolytics need to be very small diameter. Anyone in know who dabbles in small modern components of say digital electronics might be able to put me in the right way of some Elco Capacitotrs.. Maybe Panasonic 'FC' or oscons which ever is best size wise.. Some are not common values for Electrolytics.. ie 0.47uF, 3.3uF, 1uF, 10uF.. 12V motor so around 16V ish should be okidoki....

Have a look at Vishay solid aluminium caps from RS.

Is that 0.47uF definitely an elco?


Edit....Farnell have all those sizes ;)

[Rare Bird]

Deffo.. I forgot to add im not paying mad arse shipping charges that outweigh the actual cost of an handfull of parts. They are for a temporary fix till i can source an high quality 12v DC Servo driver board

I have 1uf & 0.47uf 63v film caps that are quite small [5mm pitch] you are welcome to if you need ? For temporary fixes etc I often use H.M.Comp on eBay as p&p is often free or at least cheap.

Actually, if your not bothered about what brand they are I probably have lytics in most of those values...

Thanks James, i bought some from that very same seller yesterday..

I'm an Electrolytic short for power supply Reserviour.. Looking for something like an Elna 'Cerafine' anything from 16-50V rating, 1000uF.. Leg pitch 7mm prefer a largish body around 3/4'' diameter if poss.

Anyone got a new one doing nothing?

[istari_knight]

Could you make room for anything bigger ? I've got 1 x BHC ALC20A 4700uf/40v [28x28mm] w/10mm pitch which I had for ages but cant find a use for !

[Rare Bird]

Hi James

Na i wouldnt get that on the board..but thanks..

[istari_knight]

No worries !

What height can you get away with Andre?

I should have made it more clear, it's not a PSU can im after it's a standard Radial Cap. I would really like a Cerafine but can't seem to buy just one.. The original cap is 5/8''Diameter/1'' Long (15mmx25mm) 1000uF/16v, im ok with upping the voltage rating but keep the capacitance as is..I just wish to keep it the size of the original, it's an OCD thang :D

I might have something I've previously removed......I'll have a look ;) if its function is a smoother, I'd take a Panasonic FC over one of those red cerafines mate ;)

[Rare Bird]

Ive used Panasonics on the Motor driver board but i needed tiny there. 'FC' arnt big enough for this cap which would look a bit silly at around 10mm diameter!

[UV101]

Ah....so it's aesthetics ;) lol

I'll have a look and see what I have floating :D

[UV101]

what about this?

I could probably send you something "for now" if you can hang on until I order from RS again??

[Rare Bird]

Ok main Electrolytics changed for Panasonic 'FC'. Speed is now stable..I just need to change the rest of the crap parts on the PCB & bobs yer uncle should last yonks trouble free... jesus i hate it when they verticle mount Resistors :steam:

Anyhoots this board can come out & onto my new DIY Turntable project :eyebrows:

Just need to change those lovely trimmers now :D Why does that sort always have a dead spot exactly where you need to set it ?!

[Rare Bird]

Yeh got two Trimmers on order. im changing the lot, i always do..
