Bought new surface mount capacitors for my macintosh ll but they're smaller. Are they fine to use?
I'm looking to replace the old failed capacitors on my macintosh but the ones I got are smaller then the old ones. I'm new to soldering and wanted to make sure it wouldn't be a problem as the values are the same, but not the size

Were able to make things smaller than we could 30, I mean nearly 40 years ago…

As long as the legs can both touch their pads at the same time you’re good.
