OK, I've looked through a bunch of threads on here and gotten a general idea on what caps to get. But I have a few questions before I create some projects on their site and place an order. I'm looking at Nichicon caps.
1: I've read many times that it's important to use hi-temp caps when replacing hi-temp caps, but many use hi-temp cap to replace a standard caps. Is there any real benefit to using a hi-temp cap where a standard cap is called for?
2: Mouser has multiple "series" of caps for the same value. For example:
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

- PW Series: Miniature Sized, Low Impedance, High Reliability For Switching Power Supplies
- KT Series: For General Audio Equipment, Wide Temperature Range
- ST Series: 7mmL, Wide Temperature Range
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
