Thanks Phil23, I was going going to ask whether I could substitute a ceramic cap - my experience with SMD components is very limited. Do I need to specify a particular voltage/range when ordering?
Edit: is it a .01uF or .1uF cap that I'm looking for?
100nF is 0.1µF. Anything 6.3V or higher will be OK.
If you clear off the pads with solder wick, then tack one side to hold the SMD part in place you can solder the other side. Then do the "tacked" side. Remember to flow the solder. Parts of this size are really not that difficult to solder. Also, tweezers help.
A ceramic cap with leads would work if you made a 90° bend with a short "foot" to land on the pads.
By the way the SMD part
is a ceramic cap, just in a different package.
SMD has the advantage of having lower lead inductance for improved results at higher frequency. Although in this application, it isn't critical and the leaded part will work if that is what you want to do. I would just solder in the SMD cap myself...
