Title: 680uF capacitor substitute?
Post by: Jeffl on November 12, 2011, 10:18:29 pm

I'm looking for a substitute for the 680uf capacitor mouser part:

647-UHM1C681MPD6
UHM1C681MPD6

http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=9BrxhaXua9Jhj8ACGUwebQ%3d%3d

Is this a good substitute?

647-UHE1C681MPD
UHE1C681MPD

It's a little taller, but most of the specs are the same or better, so it should work.  The splitter isn't an application where the lower ripple current rating would cause any issues.

Thanks Mike.  Good catch on the height difference.
