Take that back... Looks like Mouser's website was lying that that was a 5mm diameter cap.... Its actually 6.3mm which is going to be too big...
So I did a bit more digging and found: http://mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsCnlYck6hSqLKeSeHnSOGyVYzpVBYnbJA%3d Looks like this specific cap should fit the pads. Providing the .208" measurement that I think I remember correctly isn't way off in left field... :) If someone could verify the dimensions of the plastic nugget on the bottom is about .208" x .208" then I think I'll have to order me up a few of these. ~Brett On Sat, 2009-07-04 at 20:51 -0700, Brett Howard wrote: > http://mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsCnlYck6hSqNv1tvAH8HUqxGXBxSgy5Fs%3d > > I think this capacitor may fit into the C9 and C13 area next to the > headphone.
