Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
Mallory FP series replaces TVl, PEI, AA, BB, CC and DO series with matching capacitance and voltage ratings. For the 400 µF @ 150V rating, verify the original part number before substituting. If an exact Mallory replacement is unavailable, modern equivalents from KEMET, Nichicon, or Cornell Dubilier can be cross-referenced by matching capacitance, voltage, ESR, and case dimensions.
Works With
- Vintage amplifier and receiver schematics requiring 400 µF filter capacitors
- Power supply design and restoration documentation from the 1950s–1980s era
- Capacitor cross-reference guides and equivalency databases
- Restoration repair manuals for tube audio equipment and antique radio
