Cap Searching

General Asylum

General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

I'm going to replace some caps. I need to find them. They are qty 2 30uf @450V and qty 2 10uf @475V and qty 2 30uf @475V. So in using various search engines for different electronics sites you're wasting your time unless you put in a value they have. For example I needed these for a project I did last month: a 20 uf @30V but today you'll find 22uf @35V which works fine. I needed a 450uf at 45V and used a 470uf @ 50V. These values I used and easily found were based on me knowing that 22uf and 470uf are common values used today but not the actual numbers for the original parts. Same with the voltages. When you simply enter the exact replacement value you may find nothing especially if its older gear.

So for the values I need what should I search for that are common values used today? The voltage is the problematic number as 450 is a common voltage used today but I need 475 on some. 33uf is the number for the 30's and 10uf is easy too. It's the voltage. I thought 600 would be my number but I'm not finding stuff. Also would you use 33@450V when 475V is called for? Thanks in advance.
