Hello all. For some years now I have owned a Soundstream 2000d monoblock car amp. It has served me well. However it blew out 3 capacitors. The amps factory capacitors were (G-Luxon 2200uf 80v tw85c (m) 702p ) with dimensions of 30mm high by 25mm diameter wide and 12mm through board electrode distance. Size is an issue. I have two questions for anyone who might be able to answer them. I would like to know if a capacitor with a rating of 2200 uf 100v 105c, instead of 2200uf 80v 85c, could be used and would it be better, worse or of no consequence. The flexibility of voltage may improve my chances of finding a close size. The other question is, where can i buy them?
Thanks
AmateurAmp

The ratings you suggest for replacement will probably work better than the originals.

Capacitors have a lifetime, and those ones you had may have come to the end of theirs.

I don't know where you are, so I can't recommend a source, but look at sites like digikey, farnel, element 14 etc.

yup you can use them no probs :) the 85C and 105C are temperature ratings

you dont need to be a rocket scientist to realise that 105C is better at handling higher temps ;)

cheers

Digikey probably have *many* capacitors that meet these specs. Have you gone through all of them?

Also give Mouser a go.

how's this one?

Did we pick the same one? No. Mine is 25mm wide and 30mm high. CocaCola's is 25mm high and 30mm wide.

There are also a few possible options on Ebay from China if you search for 100v 2200uf
