ARC D90 needs new electrolytics

Pete22 · 3rd August 2006, 10:08 AM

Looking for electrolytics that will fit in my Audio Research D90. The old ones are gone and ARC wants $60 a piece for them (8 is needed) so i´m trying to find a replacement that is a little less costly.
It feels like i have been looking everywhere. Farnell had a few that was good but didn´t fit diameter-wise.
The originals are 135mm high and 35 mm in diameter. The last of these amps that left the factory had 450v/450uF. The earliest examples had 450v/300uF.

All help is very much appreciated

I see 3 ea 450V 390 uF on fleabay, item #170014461074 , shipping US$ 10.00 cost 6.00-that'll get you started!
mouser carriesnichicon
@ $us 5.73 ea./ 25 qty, plus shipping(!)
does this help?

Take a look at the JJ El Caps 500uF/500v, 35mm diam - 88mm long.
Hope that fits you....

Thanks for the help both of you. AroS3; Can´t seem to find them anywhere. Do you have a link?
KLM1; unfortunately they are to big. Can´t be more than 35mm wide to fit.

KLM1; I missed your second suggestion. They might work but i have to check if i can fit them in the holes. If so, perfect.

AroS3; Found it on the tube store but they are out of stock. Any suggestions?

aroS3; it looks like the JJ:s only can take a temperature up to 70 degrees celsius. Is that enough? It gets pretty hot in there

sorenj07; i already looked in there but they don´t seem to have the 500v/500uF.

Hi,

Here's something that meets the 450V headroom and diameter requirement. Long life, high ripple current, and high temp range too:
