Don't suppose anyone has a NOS 20000uf 16-250V Axial capacitor laying around?

Don't suppose anyone has a new old stock 20000uf 16-250V Axial capacitor laying around?

I have 10kuf 16v axials here... you could put 2 in parallel.

Wish you would've posted last week while I was out on travel as I could've stopped by one of my favorite parts holes to see what I could find.

 

[Madaracs]

So you're saying not serially... but in parallel? Like this?:

I want to rebuild my Galaga Power Supply and I've never run them in parallel. Do you solder both in to the same mounting holes then?

 

[channelmanic]

Right.

They are the opposite of resistors. You put them in parallel to add them up.

I suppose that could be a good thing in a way then, right? I mean you're balancing the capacitance between two units instead of filling up one.

On the other hand, if one fails... the other will most certainly pop as well.

I don't need them right away so if you end up finding one elsewhere let me know.

What's the 16-250V? 16V to 250V?

Why not just use an 18000uF cap. Just bulk capacitance - the difference shouldn't matter.

Now the voltage .. 16-250V? Huh? You mean 16 - 25V? I'd imagine a 250V, 20000uF cap would be immense!

Yeah, I just mean the voltage has to be 16V or higher.

So 2000uF difference in capacitance doesn't matter?

At those values, probably not. In power supplies, they are normally used for filtering. Ed has 18K mfd caps usually in stock. They are used in Williams power supplies.

Cool. 'Cept I don't know who Ed is.

Search for 18000 and it will come up with the caps.
