100 1 uf @ 50 volt
50 1 uf @ 250 volt
10 1 uf @ 450 volt
100 2.2 uf @ 50 volt
20 2.2 uf @ 250 volt
20 3.3 uf @ 250 volt
100 4.7 uf @ 50 volt
20 4.7 uf @ 250 volt
100 10 uf @ 50 volt
30 10 uf @ 160 volt
30 10 uf @ 250 volt
20 22 uf @ 50 volt
20 22 uf @ 250 volt
100 47 uf @ 50 volt
20 47 uf @ 250 volt
100 100 uf @ 50 volt
20 100 uf @ 160 volt
50 220 uf @ 35 volt
30 470 uf @ 35 volt
20 1000 uf @ 25 volt
20 1000 uf @ 35 volt
20 2200 uf @ 35 volt
Special Bi-polar types:
20 1 uf @ 50 volt B.P.
20 4.7 uf @ 50 volt B.P.
20 10 uf @ 50 volt B.P.

Remember those listed above are "radial" style leads. I generally buy the Xicon brand cause they are the cheapest.
-
GREAT info.
Someone ought to make up an order on digikey or mouser and give us an estimated cost of the whole order. And a bonus would be to make a spreadsheet with the part number of the vendor for the correct item.
I would do it, but I am lazy. :dunno
-
A person could also order most of those capacitors in the 105 degree temperature rating (better, but cost a few pennies more) instead of the usual 85 degree for longer capacitor life in monitors.
-
i always order 105 degree due to the enclosed conditions of monitors
-
Well done Ken. Thanks for the list.

Could someone make this a sticky? This is fantastic info that people are probably looking for a lot... I know I just reproduced it myself from kits the other day and this could have saved me a couple hours of work.

I added a link to this post in The FAQ.

Bumping this topic.

Here is the mouser project. I used these criteria: 1. cheapest 2. In stock 3. Not at end of life. As of 5/14/2010 anyway.

3.3uf @ 50V should be added to this list...G07s have two of them.
-
I added 100 3.3uf @ 50V to the project

D'oh...that should be 3.3uf @ 50V BP. Sorry about that.

I just looked at that Mouser project more in-depth. I'd just scanned it before. Here's my take:
1) I'd go with hi-temp only caps. They last longer than standard 85ºC caps.
2) Lelon brand capacitors haven't been getting good reviews. @ BadCaps.Net (http://ww.badcaps.net) forums they're listed on the bad caps list. I'd do nothing but Nichicon brand. More expensive
Then again, Xicon got bad reviews too, and I never had an issue with them. Time will tell on Lelon.
-
Everybody is probably going to want something a little different. That's why I went with: 1. Cheapest 2. In-Stock 3. Not End of Life. You can't get 105 degree caps for all of them and you can't get all the same brand. I guess if you wanted out of stock you could, but what's the point if delivery is some time in October.

I updated it. I added an End of Life cap, but they had over 1000 in stock. If I added one that met the criteria, it was over $1 per cap. These are only 10 cents.

If i get time, I'll make another project with the following criteria: 1. 105 degree 2. Not EOL 3. In stock. Do you have a brand recommendation?

Nichicon is my choice.
Here's a 3.3uf, 50V BP for a quarter. (http://mouser.com/ProductDetail/Nichicon/UEP1H3R3MDD/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtZ1n0r9vR22fwnQlnu%2fcHclpw5AXxWgyA%3d)

I didn't add that one because there were only 64 in stock and the delivery date for more was 11/1/2010.

this seems quite useful...

A few of these are OOS.
Would you like me to create an up-to-date list with replacements?
-
A lot of those are either out of stock (endless back order) or have been discontinued. Yes, it's probably time for an updated list. :)
