I've had a look around but I haven't been able to find a conclusive answer. I have a couple of Mac Classic analog boards, one of the older version (820-0395) and one of the newer (820-0525). They both contain a set of two RIFA PME 290 MB caps, and on the newer board they are cracking at the top. I am about to recap this board and I might as well get some replacements for the RIFAs.
There appears to be a direct replacement from RIFA, the PME 271 Y, but this is difficult/expensive for me to get hold of (I am in the Netherlands). I came across B32021A3103M from EPCOS/TDK, which is a 10nF 300V Y2 (image attached is of a box I found on the internet, I haven't ordered 100 of them!) I don't know a lot about safety capacitors but I am assuming that it being rated at a higher voltage wouldn't matter? Also unfortunately these caps are 10mm spaced and not 15mm like the current caps, but I could just bend the leads to make them fit.
Alternatively do you know of another part that I could use?
Thanks!
