** Bull**** !!!

The Prickman keeps reposting the SAME ******** he has been for decades.

Adding 6 inches of wire to an electro will massively increase its self inductance, by a factor of 10 at least.


which might or might not be a problem. I have a computer somewhere that had all its on-board supply caps replaced with the new ones hanging on wires. Works flawlessly.


The OP should add just enough wire to make connection to the PCB and twist the pair.


Do what you can do.
