I have a chasis that I've not been able to identify exactly, though I believe it is a Kortek. The name on the PCB is JC-TRON. Anyway, I am recapping it and had to pull the really large capacitor in the lower right corner in the attached picture. I found a replacement with the same ratings, but the circumference is a little larger so it doesn't fit down all the way because of a resistor and also a screw on the side of the chasis.
The terminals do extend through the pcb and you can see them barely protruding on the back side, so I'm sure I can get them soldered in okay.
My question is, what should I put under the capacitor to insulate the exposed terminals in the gap between the pcb and capacitor, if anything? I also have a little concern that the edge of the capacitor overlaps one resistor ever so slightly and touches a screw. Will these cause problems?
The pic with the brown rectangle is a side view of the capacitor seated as far down as it will go.
If this isn't a good fit (literally) can I just use another cap with the same uf rating and higher voltage than the one I pulled out? I think i can get one of those with a smaller diameter.
