1uf Capacitor Size

[Diatrive]

Hello there,

Does anyone have a good source for thin 1uf box capacitors? I mean thin versus the wide box capacitors that take up 2 slots.

Thanks!

I don’t think you’ll have much luck with that, may want to try ceramic or tantalum caps instead if space is an issue.

 

[Diatrive]

Okay cool thanks. The new Rainbow Machine clone has LOTS of them.

 

[Nostradoomus]

Oh yeah, it specifies 1uf MLCC (ceramic) caps

Go with MLCC, some of them need to be unpolarized so tantalum wouldn't work.

Use the MLCCs on this, but for other projects which require 1uFs:

Would these work when MLCC isn't specified?

Electrically they'll work, but I think they might be physically larger and might not fit.

These would likely be a better fit:

They'll make your board like like it needs braces, but yeah. I've made them work plenty of times
