Quark fried, blown capacitor...

So, if you get three 330uF caps and put them in series, the total capacitance is only 110uF, but the voltage rating is the sum of the voltage ratings of all three.

AAngel: Yeah, sometimes buying in quantity can save a bunch of $$$. So, if anyone wants to get some low-ESR 220uF/330uF 35v 105*F caps, I'm in for a group buy for 10-12 of them (plus shipping of course).

I know that, but if I get the 35v 330uF ones, I will use them in parallel. I was talking about the Novak trans-cap in series, which I don't really like doing, BUT IT'S SO DANG TEMPTING! :027:

What do you think about the trans-cap in series? three of them.

I also wouldn't mind getting a bunch of caps as well Brian. Have you found any radial type caps, all I have found is surface mount.
