Replacement RIFAs

[PS2it]

I figured I'd make this reference for finding replacement RIFA filter caps. There is often some debate on what to replace filter capacitors with. These are by no means the only caps you can use, as long as it is X and not Y designated, you can use anything that is the same capacitance. These are made by KEMET. KEMET bought RIFA, so they look pretty close to the originals (if that's your thing). Beyond that, these work like the originals, and they should have the same lead spacing as the original RIFAs. I don't know if the longevity has improved with these, but as long as they last another 25 or 30 years they'll work for me!

0.22uF 275v X1 - PME271MD6220KR30
4700pF 250v X1,X2 - PME271Y447MR30
0.1uF 275V X1 - PME271M610MR19T0

Now this is handy!

Found another one to add to the list! Came across a Y rated safety cap in an Aztec branded IIgs power supply.

0.01uF 250v Y2 - F17103101030

These are Vishays instead of KEMETs, but they are the same size and lead spacing!
