Long and short is that i bought a project as a beginner at trying to make things work again. After doing simple troubleshooting for a channel that would only work when unit had been on a while and with volume turned up high i decided to replace main caps. They are 8200uf 50v 4 pin 2 of which are for fixing purposes. The active ones are 22.5 mm apart and the cap measure 35mm by 50mm tall. Problem is nothing else will fit. no space. cannot find an identical or slightly higher rated cap that will fit. do i start drilling holes in the circuit board or try to bend leads to make the two caps fit. I dont have the knowledge. help please !!!

Thanks i have looked for something with the same or greater values with the dimensions given and all are either obsolete or bulk order more than 200 pieces, i only want 2. I have requested a website in hong kong to see if they will supply such a small amount and await their response. ESMH800VND822MA45T is the cap that might do the job.

no response from my enquiries it seems ridiculous that i cant buy a couple of capacitors that will do the job. Very frustrating indeed.

I've drilled plenty of holes to make components fit and it's not a problem IF done right, if you are hitting copper, not bending leads over to the copper.

However you have not mentioned a critical parameter which is lead spacing. You don't need 4 pins (though if you move this around much, or even if you don't, you might want to put a couple blobs of adhesive on both sides of them to help fortify the mechanical connection - NOT hot glue, it must cure to a warm temperature stable state).

Anyway, in this type of application the values for uF and voltage may not be as critical as in some, but without voltage measurements I'll err on the conservative side and suggest to get at least 50V caps. Capacitance, it wouldn't hurt much to go up or down a step or two, but I'll put 8200uF into Digikey's search parameters and out pop these hits:


They don't need to be the "Audio" caps at all, though depending on the amp design, there may be some benefit from higher ripple current rating and lower ESR rating.

Even then, I'd be tempted to get the following because their 5,000 hr @105C temp rating, should indicate longer life, though in this application, many should provide decades of service unless it's scorching hot in this amp.


The above assumes you have 10mm lead spacing, if not then go through Digikey's search again and spec the lead spacing you need.

I'm curious why you had settled on your linked, 80V rated cap when you stated it only needs to be 50V?

There are dozens of other options too, but not knowing how much space and lead spacing and other factors, these should work.

Hi and thanks for picking up on my question. The big problems I have been having is size and lead spacing. I need 22.5 mm lead spacing and no more than 35mm diameter. Height I have up to 65mm to play with. That pretty much wipes all of affordable caps out. I paid £15 for receiver don't want to spend £30 on two caps. That's my dilemma.

Whether it is suitable to drill holes for a different lead spacing depends on what the back side (assuming it is only single sided) of the PCB looks like. Can you link to a high resolution, well lit, 90' angle picture of bottom of the PCB and indicate where the cap leads are?

What about this one: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/EPCOS-TDK/B41231A6828M000?qs=sGAEpiMZZMukHu%2BjC5l7YYQBV/jCy/7TNhsCXl%2BkMPM=

Check the specs...looks like it will fit and runs under $4 US each.

^ Stated that 22.5mm lead spacing is needed while most anything today including those, are 10mm lead spacing.

That plus the 8200uF capacitance spec on top of that is adding an additional rarity unless it's new (very) old stock which would only seem appropriate to me in order to restore it to original state for a museum display rather than actual use.

I went for these in the end and ordered a few as I have another amp requiring these caps to save on delivery charges. I have a Sony str v4l which sounds fine but I can see the main caps have leaked. Will do those as well as the str v45l. These caps are higher voltage and capacitance but measurements mean they will fit perfectly in both amps. Thanks for help. Hopefully will work ! these being ESMH101VND103MA63T
