Capacitor help please!

[rnzr]

Hi,
I replaced my Phonobox SE electrolyic caps with BlackGates and sadly i did touch one other cap on the board with my soldering iron...
It says "68nK 100" on it. And i gues it's MKP/MKT type...

Wondered what is nK? same as nanofarads - nF?

There are 2 of them on board. I need something to replace them so suggestions are welcome (for better ones too), their body length is 7,5mm.

Thanks, Ronald

Capacitor help please

Judging by the photo, there doesn't seem to be anything special about them, such as close tolerance,polypropylene, etc.
I would just replace them with the "cheap as chips" 68nF 100V 5mm pitch poly caps from your local electronics store.

68nF, 10% tolerance, 100V. They look like generic caps as far as I can tell, if you have the full schematic of the phonostage you can figure out what those caps are for and how much of a difference an upgrade is likely to make.

K is tolerence 10%
J is 5%

Although it may look a bit horrible it is actually very unlikey that you have done any damage to it.

As already stated it isn't anything special.

Thanks for reply's!
I guess i use Wima MKS-2 caps then, they are quality ones.
Don't have the schematic and cant find it too.

I guess if i use 63V ones instead of 100V like they was originally it's more than enough cause the Phonobox SE input voltage is ~16VAC.
