I'm in the process of refreshing the caps on an MS2125 and came along the following which may need some attention at board locations 329, 330, and 325:
If they need replacement, please suggest a part number/brand/etc. from Digikey?
All I could find is these, not sure if they are a perfect match:

After some hunting around I found the Panasonic units:

Wow, usually I get answers fairly quick on here. Has no one ever swapped out the smaller caps, I have searched up and down the site for info on this and either its very vague, unanswered or not found in a search.
Someone has to know. Help please?

They look like regular electrolytic caps so what's the problem? You can probably read the values off the caps.
Just check the lead distance is about right. Looks like 5mm or so. Just make sure you get brand name caps like Panasonic and you will be fine.

I could not agree more. There is enough information on the side of the capacitor to find a suitable replacement. Those ones in the photo are not damaged enough to not be able to read their info.

Thanks guys, as for the specs I have 100uF and 25V, I just couldn't find any concrete info if it helps to upgrade these from 85C to 105C and which series to purchase.
The OEM ones are Panasonic SU-Series, I have also found Panasonic FC-Series....what does the series pertain to?
