I have some power supplies in need of re-capping, which need 560uF and 680uF. All marked 250V and 22mm dia, 35mm tall.
These seem to have gone up a lot in cost and out of stock for many local distributors, so looking on AliExpress too.
A couple of questions if anyone has current experience please?
Firstly, is this an area where counterfeits are a problem on AliExpress?
Second, if I go for one of the correct capacitance, marked for HIGHER voltage, should that always be OK, or is it safer to stick to exactly 250V replacements?
Anyone need similar while I am at it?
Thanks,

That’s definitely a strike against AliExpress.
I just had to get a refund on a pair of unknown 40-pin DIL chips cosplaying as 6522… made by MOS in 2018.
I’m just having a hard time hitting ‘buy’ on an order for 4 capacitors at over £25 posted…! Repair rather than replace the whole PSU is the right thing to do, but it’s borderline economically, am I imagining that these would have been much cheaper pre pandemic?
