Hi all, just curious to know whether you have any preferred electrolytic capacitor manufacturers... I'm attempting to bring some kitchen appliances (with old, suspect electrolytics) back to life, and just want a high temperature variety that will last many years. Also, I discovered that there's an entire "BadCaps" community over at http://www.badcaps.net/forum/ dedicated to repairing equipment with bad capacitors!

Nichicon.

The higher spec parts from Panasonic.

But for any: read the temperature, lifetime & ripple curent specs very carefully.

No preferred brand, only hardware design is the problem.

“High temperature, nasty vibration and voltage close to rated voltage keeps us in business, this is the way to go.”
