Capacitor physical size

(1/1)

Ducksrfun:
Does the physical size of a capacitor make a different in the function/operation of the capacitor?

Vpgh:
As I remember, the bigger size capacitors from same manufacturer have the better ripple-current in most cases. However, it depends of specific vendor/series etc.

Sir Thrift-a-Lot:
I presume we are talking apples to apples here, as in cap types.   If you are comparing non-polar electrolytic, polyprop, or film and foil by size there are other more important factors to consider.

Ducksrfun:
The values are the same for each capacitor but the size is smaller.  I am upgrading a 1970

Values are not the same as types.
