If you can't find a cap that's exactly 220uF, you can wire 2 or more in parallel so the uF's add up to 220. The voltage rating can be higher than the original (the original probably popped because it got more voltage than it's made to handle). Dunno about temperature, but I assume anything close will be okay-- if this circuit's getting hot enough to boil water, you've got other problems. Or go here (if you don't mind $6 shipping for a 25-cent part): http://www.allelectronics.com/matrix/Radial_Electrolytic_Cap.html Scroll down for the 220's. The voltage ratings for 220uF's are 35, 50 and 100v, but that's good-- go for the 50v. -- http://www.zirconia3.com "If he thought he could fly, why didn't he take off from the ground first?" --Bill Hicks(1961-94) -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
