I want to replace the electrolytic capacitors (aluminum, radial) on a Double Dragon boardset. So if I select on Mouser.com for example, Nichicon, Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors, Leaded, Radial, 100 uF 16v; there are 66 results.
Does it matter which one I choose? I see that some are 10% tolerance and others are 20% tolerance. Is 10% always better than 20%? Then there is "Operating Temperature Range". Is a higher temperature rating always better?
So even if I apply a tolerance and temperature range filter, I still get multiple results. Maybe I should just pick the one that they have the most in stock for ... that might mean it is the most popular one.
