help choose between these two caps for PSU

ronardi · 21st March 2005, 02:41 PM

Today my friends give some 2700uf caps, if I am going to use one out of these two, which one would be better?

one is ugly look aerovox caps(I really wonder what it is, it looks bad, does it sound as bad as it looks?)

the other one is from panasonic. Its outlook is better but don't know how it sounds

I totally have no idea about these caps and can't even find datasheet of the 2 caps so do hope any of you folks could help!

It's a capacitor.

One is 80V one is 40V, just use the one that matches your amp voltage (with safety margin).

both are good caps.
