Do you need another one? Just ask if you do. If not anything of similar size will do as it is only for decoupling. You will be glad to know that most of my stuff now is reverse current protected.

Whilst mucking about the other day, I inadvertantly crossed my 12v supply wires to one of Ian Bird's original IR boards....It blew the 47uF capacitor in spectacular style. A pink plume and silver streaks across the paper below... and flames of course....It was at work during lunch when I was playing and fortunately the fire alarm didn't go off (i was sweating it!!!). The smell was terrible...for ages even with fans to waft it to the admin dept....they kept complaining..

 

Ah well fun over for another day...
