Is there any new boost drivers available?

Bob, keep in mind that not everytime can a capacitor type be switched to another.

This is true.. you can find more info here

Capacitor types and their uses :: Radio-Electronics.Com

The ceramic type caps are used in high frequency applications. Typically, they are used in circuits which bypass high frequency signals to ground. Which in this case is ideal.. other types of caps can also do the same thing, but I recommend that these are used for their compatibility, price, efficiency and most of all their size.

Hence why I said....

just as efficient for this application as the SMD.

Well I think that my local surplus store only sell the ceramic type.

 

[bobhaha]

They should sell both, but the ceramic ones are the more common ones.... I guess

If I want to buy SMD components I do it at DigiKey Corp. | Electronic Components Distributor | United States Home Page

That my main supplier for our most of our R & D needs...
If we order before 8:00PM today... I have the parts
in my hand tomorrow afternoon... and for only $8.00
Shipping and no Customs Duty... and we are in Canada.

I once ordered at 10pm and received the parts at 10am the next morning when I was making some pancakes.

Sorry to disagree... I've been dealing with Digikey for over 9 years.
Can't be done with DigiKey.... their last order taken to be shipped
that same day is at 8:00PM Central Time.
Any orders after 8:00PM will ship the next day..

Well I that's what I got, and I found that quite surprising too. And I am telling the truth.
