Capacitors...Is this ok?

10/18/2008 12:29:24 AMG. Berg

Hi all ...I am rebuilding a Wells Gardner 2DL (Chassie 6A) and am in short supply of .05mf caps. If I take two .033 450v and put them together - to - and + to + (solder leades together to make one cap) would this be ok to substitute for a .05 cap... Voltage will stay at 450..and mf will now be .066 right?

In assume you are hooking them up in parallel. Are these ELECTROLYTIC caps (hence the +/-)?

You are OK if this is a power supply or audio application. If this is RF for any reason, the extra lwad inductance can work against you.

you could also use a .047

with the tolerance of the original, the .047 is within the range

Yah.. I am all out of .047 caps and no not electrolytic...just your standard cap ..For what I am refering to I am using them in the Wells Gardner 6A chassie..schematic is on this site...Could someone tell me if what I previously mentioned will be ok?

I make one lookee-lookee at the schematic, and I am seeing the 135V supply line and it getting its decoupling / filtering primarily being provided by the use of C12, well , electrolytics don’t provide the best RF bypassing action, so additionally they have shunted it with a paper type of bypass capacitor C11, to more fully cover that RF decoupling aspect.

It could only be covered more thoroughly by the utilization of a ceramic disc type of capacitor.

So yes. . . go for it. . . . with your paralleling of the units mentioned. . . .unless you possibly happen to also have a .03/ .033 and 02 /.022
combination to use.
