68uf and 100uF >5v 0805/Case B Cap?

[James Varga]

Okay - i'm a bit new to working with SMD components and mistakenly used a
0805 package for two components when I had purchased Case D and V style. Now
i'm trying to figure out if I need to change the design or use different
caps - the second being the preferred. Any ideas is you can get 68uF and
100uF caps that small?

its for a 5v circuit so its got to be minimum that - preferrably between 6
to 10v.

Thanks

I've never seen anything that big in 0805.

How many boards do you want to make? If it's only a few, I'd probably
try kludging the big caps you have onto the wrong footprint.

Can you fit them on the board? How about something like turn them
sideways so you can see everything, and then use heavy wire to fill
in the gap? Maybe unroll the tabs on the caps a bit.

There are some pretty big value ceramics but I don't think you'll get more than about 10uf in 0805.
