I need to replace C423 on this monitor. Bob Roberts doesn't carry this cap, so I placed an order with Digikey. The one I got from them is far smaller than the factory cap. I've apparently made a mistake in my order. I know some newer caps are smaller than old ones, but this seems too much-so.
Here's the cap I got. It looks like my mistake was that it is Polyester, not Polypropylene.

The original capacitor was labeled ME 604J-400 (was replaced once before, I think this is a 400v capacitor while the original is 250v from what I can find online), naturally the larger replacement is OK and probably preferred in this application.
I'm assuming I need a Polypropylene to make this work. Can someone confirm that the following cap is correct for this application (or that the one I already have will work)?

My concern is that the size of the polypropylene doesn't seem much different than the polyester according to DigiKey's site.
Thanks!
