This is a list I made for myself of the electrolytics capacitors from Super Nintendo / Famicom motherboards. It includes all the specs from the original boards, in order to find exact modern replacements.
This only contains lists for the boards I repaired myself.
Pitch means lead spacing for radial leaded caps (through-hole).
The capacitor_bom.xls contains a list of modern replacements for some of the boards. It can be imported on major resellers websites like Farnell, Digikey, Mouser...
At the moment, it only contains a BOM for the SHVC-CPU-01 boards.

Notes for C50 and C51:
- These caps are in the sound module (SHVC-SOUND)
- Maximum height from board to shield is 8mm
- Original caps were ~5mm tall
- Board pitch is 5mm, but original caps had 2mm pitch with bent legs

Note: The C59 issue was known to Nintendo and was adressed in the SNSP-CPU-02 revision. Some consoles have been fixed by Nintendo and had their C59 replaced with a bipolar one. These fixed consoles usually have a small circular "C59" sticker on their underside.
