Capacitors

[christoopher24]

I am going to buy a Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors, but there are two different ones, and I need help to understand what the difference is between them.

The first one is a 16VDC 470uF 8x11mm LS 5.0mm capacitor.

The second one is a 16VDC 470uF 8x11mm LS 3.5mm capacitor.

The only difference is the LS part, between 5mm and 3.5mm. What does the LS stand for, and how would you know which one to go for??

Thanks for the help in advance!!!
