Hi,

I am searching Axial Electrolytics Capacitors 330uf 250v for repair a monitor Hantarex,could someone help me?

Thanks!!!
 
That will be hard to find. And expensive. Axials are getting scarce. Can you use a radial style? Those are common and can be had for under $5. If you must have axial to keep it looking original, try looking for higher voltage ratings. It's ok to increase it...it's a "maximum" rating. If it's a power supply filter cap, you can increase the capacitance too. But don't go too much higher on that. You might try looking for a 390uF or a 470uF, at 250V or higher.

You can also build your axial capacitor from smaller values in parallel. But it's ugly. If you do that, then you might as well use a single radial package.
 
Hi cwilkson,

I had thought to put two in parallel or replace it with a radial capacitor as a last resort.

Thanks for you help!!!
