4CC Capacitor Assembly
With the increasing rise in cost of high capacitance, bolt terminated capacitors, an alternative needed to be found. Even having found a few options, the parts for these are also drying up, but this approach is still practical. A 10000uF 50V capacitor is available which has snap connect pins for PCB mounting, but these can be used to attach a terminal block to replace the missing screw terminals. Fitting a high wattage resistor allows the capacitor to be discharged if left unconnected at any time.
| Part No | Description | Price (1off) | Notes |
| 11-3113 | 10000uf 50V Capacitor | 1.76 | |
| 62-8363 | 3k9 6W Risistor | 0.21 | Value not critical, but size determines the time taken to discharge |
| 21-3076 | 4 Way screw to Tag Barrier | 0.23 | Need an alternative again |
| 35mm Capacitor Mount |
Given the small size and lower cost of this capacitor, running more than one in parallel is a practical option. It would be nice to add a capacitor per driver in the 4 channel controller, but there is not enough space when using the 500VA transformer, but a pair could be fitted in parallel, in line with the bridge rectifier.
