X2 Capacitor Value
An X2 capacitor on my Teleslide 35mm slide projector decided to explode on me tonight. It is/was a Wima 0.033uf X2, and made an awful stink when it went.
The closest I have in my component spares are 0.22uf X2 and 0.047uf X2, would it be Ok to substitute, and which one would be better to fit? thanks. Ian |

Re: X2 Capacitor Value
The value isn't critical. I would use 0.047. 0.22 is quite high, though if you actually mean 0.022 then that would be OK too.

Re: X2 Capacitor Value
In that case either will be fine.
