[JULIAN HALES]

Hi people, just popped in for some advice.

need to replace a capacitor on a motherboard, aprantly a mass batch was
faulty and bubbled.

6.3 V
3300 microfarad.
105c
about a inch high.

Its not for me, i have a local electronic shop, Bardwells in Sheffield, but
cant get thru at present, always busy, the guy im getting it for said he
foned them and they hadnt got one, but what could be used instead? its 15
years since i last dabbled in electronics so my mind has gone blank. Hes
foned the usual rubbish like Maplins etc.

Anyone offer some advice?
thanks

You can increase the voltage rating, the physical size will increase. As

long as you can fit it!
