- Is 20 µF the right value for my crossover?
- Match the value printed on the capacitor you are replacing. 20 µF is common in tweeter and midrange high-pass sections. Changing the value shifts the crossover point.
- Does the 250 V rating matter in a speaker?
- It gives ample headroom for the voltages a crossover sees. The rating is a maximum, not a target, so it is safe in normal speaker use.
- Can I replace an electrolytic cap with this?
- Yes, as long as the capacitance matches and it physically fits. Film caps like this are non-polarized, so either lead can go to either pad.
- Will it fit my board?
- It is about 27 mm across and 55 mm long, larger than an electrolytic of the same value. Measure the space and lead spacing before ordering.
- Is it sold as a pair?
- No, it is a single capacitor. Order two if you are recapping a stereo pair of speakers.
