Looking for capacitance and voltage rating - How to read electrolytic SMD capacitor labels
I think you have a (warning, PDF) Lelon series VEZ 560µF, 2.5Volt VEZ is a low ESR series.
The markings are as follows:
- F1 - Date code. I couldn't find a key for the date code.
- 560 - 560µF
- 2.5Z - 2.5Volts, Z is the short code for the VEZ series.
Here is a list of PDFs for the various Lelon capacitor series.
To know what the markings mean for certain, you need to look in the manufacturers datasheet. F1 may be a package code, 560 maybe the capacitance in µF, and 2.5z could be lots of things, like the series name or whatever. The only way to know for sure is to read the datasheet.
Yes, you can replace a SMD capacitor with a thru hole of the same rating as long as you can mechanically do it and the decreased ruggedness is acceptable to you. The thru hole part kludged onto SMD pads will put a lot of stress on those pads and the solder. Unless this is a one-off test on a lab bench, it is probably a good idea to glob hot glue around the area as additional mechanical support to keep the stress off the solder joint.
