I have a blank pcb to make a bench power supply. It calls for four 2200uf 50v electro's. The bd. has room for caps of 12.5mm. Smallest I can find is 16mm. Bd. supplier says go down to 1000uf's. It appears as two pairs each wired series and the two pairs wired in parallel which by my figures leaves me with 2200uf. Using 1000uf's would leave 1000uf. My question: is it worth using the leads on the 2200's as standoffs to keep the original capacitance? Being new at this my figures could easily be wrong but question remains the same.
