current design utilizes UWT1E101MCL1GS, CAP 100UF 25V ELECT WT SMD x 3 (pretty large in value and real estate). The electrolytic are prone to failing some shock and vibe testing. Ceramics are an option but I am 85% sure that I will not have enough space on the board to get 300UF worth populated. I looked at Supercaps but they appear to be too costly.
Are there any alternatives to the aluminum electrolytic capacitors? Tantalum (a type of electrolytic)? Would a ceramic work with a different dielectric than NPO?
