After a lighnting hit I found 2 damaged filter capacitors in my L-4B power
supply. I decided to replace all of them. While shopping the web and
catalogs for replacements, I quickly discovered that exact value
replacements would be considerably physically smaller than the originals,
and that modern capacitors of larger capacitance and/or higher voltage
ratings than the originals could easily be fitted into the power supply.
What, then is my best option.
(1) I could choose capacitors with larger capacity.
(2) I could choose capacitors with higher voltage ratings.
(3) Both (1) and (2) together
(4) I could choose capacitors of the original ratings and possibly use the
extra space for something else.
Most of the capacitor choices I found were of the type using snap in
terminals. Into what do these terminals snap? Can I just mount the
capacitors and then solder leads to their snap in terminals, or is there a
snap in receptacle of some sort available?
Thanks
