If, by smaller in size, you mean physical size, then yes. You just need to keep the same capacitance and minimum voltage rating. Also, in a power supply filter application, you need to consider the maximum RMS current rating.

How do you increase the value of a capacitor?

A: Any additional capacitor added in parallel will effectively increase to total capacitance by that value. Note that additional capacitor added must have the same voltage rating as the other


What are the Darwbacks of non-polar capacitor over polar capacitor?

A: Polarized capacitors can be smaller in size as compared to a non polarized in the same capacity


Stereo shuts off?

Replace it +++++++++++++++ Try to look for a bloated capacitor in the main panel. Just replace it with the same one with same label on it.


How to replace a capacitor in a ceiling fan?

To replace a capacitor in a ceiling fan, first turn off the power to the fan. Remove the fan blades and housing to access the capacitor. Disconnect the wires from the old capacitor and take note of their placement. Install the new capacitor in the same position and reconnect the wires. Reassemble the fan and turn the power back on to test the new capacitor.

Can you replace a 250 Vac capacitor with a 370 Vac Capacitor?

Yes, generally, all other things being the same. By all other things I mean the capacitance, the type of capacitor for the application, etc.


What is the function for tantalum capacitor?

the same as any capacitor tantalum has a very high dielectric constant so these are smaller physically the electrolite is solid so the capacitance is very stable


What does a disc capacitor do?

A disc capacitor does exactly the same thing that any other capacitor does, with one difference: it has the lowest value of parasitic inductance of any type of capacitor. As inductance is exactly the opposite property to capacitance, its presence in a capacitor is very undesirable in many applications and can sometimes result in circuit instability.


How do I replace a fan capacitor?

To replace a fan capacitor, first turn off the power to the fan. Locate the capacitor, usually found near the fan motor. Discharge any stored electricity by using an insulated screwdriver to short the terminals. Note the wiring connections and remove the old capacitor. Install the new capacitor in the same position and reconnect the wires. Turn the power back on and test the fan to ensure it is working properly.


Can a capacitor in a lcd television be changed if cant find exact numbers eg 220 25v instead of 220 16v and what would change be?

Yes, the higher voltage is not only OK, but is desirable, as it will be longer-lasting. It is very important to replace the capacitor with the same type. If it is a ceramic disk, replace it with a ceramic disc. If it is metal-film, then replace it with a metal-film capacitor, and so on.
