Hi Matt,

I'm not sure what the application is, but perhaps 3 in parallel would work
better. Many caps have a 20% tolerance. If a cap checker is available, I
would imagine measuring 5 different ones would get closer to the infield.
$5.00 is cheap for 5 run caps! If closer tolerance is required I would
either look to series parallel some or order a cap from the numerous sources
most of us know.  I don't remember the company someone posted here; but,
they had thousands or run caps cheap. Unlike start caps they have generally
a longer lifetime and thus are worth recycling.

Best Regards,
Jim Mora

Hi Jim,
 
    At <83%, is 39 "close enough" to 47 to be useful  for this application?
