And as you pointed out, had the previous number been correct, it was a non-problem. So, I posted a correction and included the data it was derived from. So can we return to the issue at hand? I'm wondering if there are newer classes of capacitors that would be economical replacements. There are space constraints, and a not insignificant per-placement cost advantage for SMD solutions rather than the existing thruhole can. I've not looked in this area for some time now, and I'm hoping that there's someone who has some pointers in that direction. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
