"Why should people help you with such basic efforts?"
I am asking for help, not demanding it. I am thankful for any help that anyone may offer.
"Go and hunt through Nippon Chemi-Con parts until you find it."
I did, only found standard through hole types. Search engines, Digikey, and others, seen over 2000 images of the wrong caps.
"Why would a volume manufacturer (that doesnt sell direct?) spend time for your tiny quantity?"
I agree, doubt they will reply at all, at best, just point me to the same distributors.
"Took all of about 30 seconds here to find several compatible series with the right footprint, none of which are standard parts (so they were a custom order for the manufacturer)."
I proudly take first place as the idiot of the month. I never knew capacitors had options like that so I never looked at the data sheets, just figured it was a discontinued series.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
