NTE Electronics NEV1500M6.3 Series NEV Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 20% Capacitance Tolerance, Radial Lead, 1500µF Capacitance, 6.3V Voltage

Ever had one of those days where a cat was chewing up your circuit board? Or maybe you have an old amplifier where the capacitors seem to be leaking this yucky poisonous goo? If you have ever been in that situation you might be able to fix the circuit board by replacing the capacitors. Let's run through an example where I replace this capacitor from a circuit board. First up some theory. What is a capacitor? A capacitor is an energy storage device that can be used to smooth out voltages. Every capacitor will have two important ratings: capacitance and voltage. Capacitance is a way of saying how much energy the capacitor can hold at a given voltage. Capacitances usually expressed in microfarads (uF). Ninety nine percent of the time when you are replacing a capacitor, you want to use the same capacitance rating or very close to it. The capacitor over here is 470uF. If I want to replace it
