10 mF / 63 Volt is a quite standard value. Don't raise caps value if you don't know the detail of the entire PSU circuit (especially rectifiers and power transformers data.

with 10 mF I've intended 10 "milli"Farad, not "micro"Farad (microfarad i use to write as "uF").

Hi Eagle,
you've got your milli and micro mixed up.

From what I have seen in the past the US is terrible at sticking to the convention and mis-use both m and M when they mean something else. Some even get k & K mixed up.

I have a Bunch of 10,000uF 63v Samwah Snap in Capacitors (NOS) and I can sell you a few for a Good price if you want them, Like maybe $3 or $4 each Pluss shipping.....

Let me know if you are interested....

Cheers

Thats what makes us unique were "unconventional" "Always keep the b**tards guessing.LOL

So they don't use "uuf" anymore or "mfd" damn!!! Its like learning this stuff all over again. Give me time guys hell I just got the hang of 2k2 being 2.2 kilohm.Little steps...LOL

Just so I don't misinterperate again

Some even get k & K mixed up.

please explain.

Hi,
k=kilo=10^3 multiplier.
K=degree Kelvin= temperature units.
K seems to be interchangable with C, I don't know if there is a definition difference. Can someone enlighten?

All the multipliers above 1times are upper case except k to avoid confusion with K.
All the multipliers below 1times are lower case and that also avoids confusion between m & M (pity some still confuse u & m (u=mu=micro=10^-6).

I think the Nichicon Great Supply series of caps were replaced by the Super Through (KG) series.

A link to a pdf for the KG series is at the bottom.

The only outfit I know that sells them is Michael Percy in the US:
