PCB Repair (lost SMC cap)

[skymont]

I accidentally knocked off a capacitor while plugging the power cable back in, my hand slipped and the tool smacked off the cap, Im not too familiar with sourcing new parts, I know its a 603 size, 150uf ceramic capacitor, and the battery is 7.74v. the capacitor is right after the battery cable so its definitely getting 7.74v.
can anyone help me find a replacement capacitor? dont care if I have to spend $50 on a book for smcs

150 uF capacitors don't exist in 0603 package. And how do you know the value? It is typically not printed on the ceramic capacitors.

thats what the muiltimeter read, fluke 87. I just double checked like 10 of them, they all read 148-152 uf.
after double checking the sizes, micrometer measured .074 by .037 inches, which is imerial 603 or metric or metric 1608

Are you measuring in-circuit? That measurement is meaningless.

probably just a decoupling cap, slap in a 100nF 0603 in there and call it good.
you can even fit a 0805 in a 0603 footprint.

ive repaired multiple wifi routers with 100nF caps on the dc-dc converters that failed until i had the idea to measure a good one to see if its even the right value .. it should be 2.2uF...oops
but nevermind it still worked just fine on all of them..

I found out the problem, its a me problem, clearly ive lost my mind. obviously is possible to have them wired in parallel on a circuit board, dont know why I thought I could get an accurate measurement off the board lol.
aaaaanyways, any recommendations on where to buy the part after I un**** my brain and get around to pulling one off for proper a measurement?
also, does voltage rating matter a lot? is it safe to go over but not under? do I need to at least be close but above?
also how far off my measurement capacitance wise is accaptable?

[ataradov]

There is a good chance you don't need that cap at all. But generally pick anything with a higher voltage and basically any capacitance in a 1-10 uF range if that makes you feel better.
