the second part is the working voltage: 250VDC.


You can use any capacitor that is within the range. Let's say you have a capacitor that's 350VDC and fits in your in you pcb, just as long as it's over the 250V of the original it's fine.

I have put the parameters in on Mouser which I use often and you can just buy one part from them. If you click on a cap you think will work the listing will show size, type etc. This is not an electrolytic is has no direction and can be installed either way. It's polyethylene (PET)
